Bal. at Det. September 7, 1969








The Detroit Tigers were able to prevent a series sweep by the Baltimore Orioles winning a close ballgame 2-1. Denny McLain went the distance for Detroit and got his 20th win of the season. A tight game, the score was 1-1 in the bottom of the 8th when Norm Cash hit one into the rightfield seats for the game winner. The Orioles took 3 of 4 games from the Tigers and leave town with a 5.5 game lead over 2nd place Detroit in the AL East.

Jim Northrup launched 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the dominant Detroit Tigers
defeated the Kansas City Royals by a score of 15 to 6 at Municipal
Stadium.

Northrup was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors. He lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in
the 6th inning and popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 9th inning.
Detroit provided plenty of action in the 6th inning which saw them score 8
runs on 7 hits and the 9th inning when they had 4 runs on 5 hits. Detroit
ended up with 22 hits for the game while Kansas City had 9.

Denny McLain(19-7) picked up the victory, allowing 6 runs in 7 innings. Mike
Hedlund(4-7) took the loss. He was knocked around, surrendering 6 runs in 5
innings.

July 4, 1969 Baltimore at Detroit







The 1st place Baltimore Orioles are in town for a 3 game series against the 2nd place Detroit Tigers. In a rare Friday afternoon game at Tiger Stadium to celebrate the 4th of July, Mickey Lolich and the Tiger bullpen shut down the Orioles bats, paving the way to a 4-1 victory for the home town team.
Mickey didn't have his best control, he walked 8, but Baltimore wasn't able to capitalize on all its base runners and the Tigers pen shut them down after Lolich left the game. Al Kaline hit a 2-run homer in the 1st inning for Detroit and that proved to be all the Tigers would need today. With the win, Detroit pulls within 1 game of Baltimore for the top spot in the AL East.

June 29, 1969




The Detroit Tigers defeated the Baltimore Orioles in a dramtic 9th inning finish today 4-1. Baltimore starter Mike Cuellar was sailing along with a 3 hitter and a 1-0 lead into the 9th when the defense completely let him down. Two 2-base errors allowed the Tigers to tie the game. Then Tom Tresh doubled to give Detroit the lead and Ike Brown, batting .129, hit a 2-run homer to finish the scoring for Detroit. Don McMahon came on to close out the game in the bottom of the 9th and picked up his 8th save of the season.
The win is the 3rd straight for Detroit in this 4 game series in Baltimore and moves them within 1.5 games of the Orioles. The series will conclude with the 2nd game of today's doubleheader later this afternoon.

In a great finish the Detroit Tigers came back in the top of the ninth and


held on to win over the Baltimore Orioles by a score of 4 to 1 at Memorial


Stadium.





Detroit had the winning rally in the 9th inning when they came up with 4 runs


on 2 hits. The big moment was provided by Ike Brown who silenced the stadium


when he cleared the fences for a two-run home run. Detroit had only 5 hits


for the afternoon.





The win went to Fred Lasher(2-3) who allowed no runs in 1 inning. Don McMahon


preserved the game for Lasher, recording his his 8th. Mike Cuellar(9-4) was


the loser. It was a tough loss for him as he did not allow an earned run in


his 8 and 1/3 innings of work.





After the game, it took a long while before Earl Weaver emerged from his


office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He


concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood this


afternoon, as I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a


lot more light-hearted over in the Detroit locker room.'

Willie Horton and Mickey Stanley each hit 2 run homers to lead the Tigers 13 hit attack. The teams play a doubleheader tomorrow to wrap up the series.
