1968 Tigers Tribute Site

April 24, 1968 at Cleveland Stadium
Indians 2, Tigers 0  (9-2)

The Tigers were held to just a single hit in series opening loss against the Indians.  The loss also snapped their impressive nine game winning streak.  The lone hit came in the third inning when Jim Northrup led things off with a single.

A solid start by Joe Sparma went to waste.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on seven hits and three walks with three strikeouts in the complete game loss.
