May 2, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Twins 3, Tigers 2 (13-6)
The Twins turned the tables on the Tigers in a ten inning, 3-2 game that replicated the previous days scores with the sides being switched. Still, it was a solid game as Jim Northrup drilled a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra frames. Still, Dennis Ribant gave up a pair of hits which resulted in a tenth inning run as the Tigers took the loss. Prior to that, John Hiller and Daryl Patterson threw two scoreless innings a piece to keep the Tigers in the game.
Northrup had the big day at the plate. He went two for three with the solo homer, a walk and he scored both Tigers’ runs.
