July 19, 1968 at Tiger Stadium
Tigers 5, Orioles 4 (59-33)
The Tigers put on a show for their home town fans with a dramatic comeback win in the ninth inning. Down by two runs, Jim Northrup kicked off the ninth with a single and he moved to second on a walk by Al Kaline. Kaline was then forced out at second base on a fielders choice by Norm Cash to put runners at the corners before Bill Freehan forced Cash out at second to score Northrup. Then with two outs, Tom Matchick belted a huge two run walk off homer to complete the comeback.
Mickey Lolich was roughed up and he gave up four runs in five innings in his start. Pat Dobson threw a shutout ninth inning and he improved to 3-1 on the season.
