June 18, 1967
Kansas City came into Detroit this weekend for a 3 game series against the AL's 1st place team. The A's have been a big surprise this season and continued their fine level of play by taking 2 of 3 games from Detroit. In today's game Catfish Hunter became the AL's 2nd 10 game winner, leading Kansas City to a 10-2 victory. The A's led 5-2 heading into the 9th inning before blowing the game open with a big 5 run outburst.
The win knocked Detroit out of 1st place and moved Kansas City within 1 game of the top spot. The logjam in the race for the pennant has gotten even tighter with the Minnesota Twins now holding the lead.

In a one-sided affair the Kansas City Athletics batters pounded the Detroit
Tigers pitchers for 10 runs while Catfish Hunter(10-4), with relief help from
Diego Segui, surrendered 2 runs to Detroit.
Detroit was unable to climb back into it after Kansas City went ahead for good
in the 5th inning as they scored 4 runs on 4 base hits. The biggest moment
was provided by Rick Monday who disappointed the partisan crowd when he
delivered a single plating two runs. Kansas City out-hit Detroit for the
game, 10 hits to 4.
Joe Sparma(6-4) was given the loss. His ERA increased from 2.65 to 2.93 as he
allowed 5 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings.
