A day after getting shut out, they managed just one run on 4 hits in a 3-1 loss. Jim Northrup hit a solo home run in the 1st inning off Gary Peters, but that was it. Denny McLain picked up his 1st loss of the Tournament, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits. Tommy McCraw tripled to lead off the 3rd. A sacrifice fly and an RBI double by Moose Skowron gave the White Sox a 2-0 lead. Skowron added another RBI double in the 8th. As the series heads to Chicago, the Tigers must win the next 3 games to avoid becoming the 3rd team to be eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB60s\/Scoresheets\/09-16-2025_CHW_DET.png\">&#8217;64 White Sox @ &#8217;68 Tigers &#8211; 9\/16\/25<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1968 Detroit Tigers offense has not shown up for the 1st two games against the 1964 Chicago White Sox.
