Tigers starter Earl Wilson allowed a base-hit to Paul Blair, but got two quick outs in the 1st. That&#8217;s when Baltimore put on 5 straight baserunners. Wilson walked Ellie Hendricks with the bases loaded, and Dave May followed with a 2-run single to put the Orioles up 4-0 before the final out of the inning. Wilson settled down, but exited in the 4th with a sore triceps. In the 8th, Fred Lasher walked in another run, giving Baltimore a 5-0 lead. Cuellar was stellar. He allowed just 5 hits, shutting out Detroit, who only had two runners in scoring position the entire game. The teams now head to Detroit with the series all tied up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB60s\/Scoresheets\/09-09-2025_DET_BAL.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'68 Tigers @ '69 Orioles - 9\/9\/25\">&#8217;68 Tigers @ &#8217;69 Orioles &#8211; 9\/9\/25<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1969 Baltimore Orioles rode a 1st inning 2-out rally and the arm of Mike Cuellar to a 5-0 win over the 1968 Detroit Tigers to even the series between the teams 1-1.
