May 31, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 1, Yankees 0 (28-16)
The Tigers closed out the month of May with their fourth straight win despite picking up just a run on four hits in the contest. Willie Horton’s solo homerun in the seventh inning, his fourteenth long ball of the year, was the only run for either side as Mickey Lolich and Stottlemyre were both immersed in an intense pitcher’s dual.
Lolich improved to 3-2 with his best start of the season. He gave up four hits and four walks with eight strikeouts in the shutout win.
