Tigers Held to Four Hits In Loss to Twins

by Brian @ 3:57 am. Filed under 1968 Tigers Diary - May, Bill Freehan, Joe Sparma, Willie Horton

May 21, 1968 at Metropolitan Stadium
Twins 3, Tigers 1 (23-13)

The Tigers three game winning streak came to an end with a pretty pathetic day at the plate. Tigers’ hitters managed just four hits and their lone run of the game came in the second inning when Bill Freehan singled home Willie Horton.

A solid start by Joe Sparma went to waste. He fell to 3-4 and he gave up three runs on eight hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in eight innings.
