Coming off a 5-hit shutout, Baltimore Orioles pitching continued its dominance of the 1968 Detroit Tigers. Jim Palmer held the Tigers to just 5 hits, taking a shutout of his own into the 9th, but some wildness nearly cost the 1969 Orioles the game. Mickey Lolich was also on his game. The Tiger starter allowed a solo home run to Frank Robinson in the 1st inning. A walk and a single put runners on the corners in the 7th, but reliever Pat Dobson held the Orioles to just one more run with two groundouts and a flyout. After Bill Freehan grounded out to lead off the 9th, Palmer walked pinch-hitters Gates Brown and Eddie Mathews. A wild pitch put both in scoring position, forcing Palmer’s exit. Eddie Watt came in and unleashed a wild pitch of his own to make it 2-1 and put the tying run at 3rd. Leadoff hitter Dick McAuliffe grounded out to 1st, but Mathews froze and didn’t break for home. Mickey Stanley followed with a grounder back to Watt to end the game. Baltimore now has a 2-1 series lead, with tomorrow’s game still in Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
