1968 Tigers Tribute Site

August 24, 1968 at Yankee Stadium
Yankees 2, Tigers 1  (81-47)

For the first time all season, Denny McLain dropped consecutive decisions although this one was hardly his fault.  He fell to 25-5 and he gave up two runs on five hits with six strikeouts in seven solid innings.

The Tigers were held to a mere four hits in the contest.  One of those hits was a solo homer by Willie Horton, his 30th of the season.
