May 28, 1968 at Anaheim Stadium
Tigers 4, Angels 1 (25-16)
Bill Freehan doubled home two runs and then Willie Horton followed that up with a two run homer to give the Tigers an early 4-0 lead before the Angels even got to hit. That was all the Tigers got but it more then enough because of some exceptional relief pitching from John Hiller.
Les Cain got the start and after giving up a run in the first, he ran into trouble in the third inning when he put two men on with one out. John Hiller came in to get the final two outs and he then pitched six more innings of shutout ball to improved to 2-1 on the season.
