1967 AL Standings

 July 1, 1967

  My Detroit Tigers are in 1st place in the AL as the calendar turns to the month of July. The Tigers had a good month in June (19-11), but the Minnesota Twins had an even better month (20-8). The 2nd place Twins are only 1.5 games behind Detroit. Still a very tight race between 6 teams in the AL.

1967 NL Standings

 June 1, 1967

  The 1967 season turns to the month of July and the Chicago Cubs still have a slim hold on 1st place in the NL. It's still a very tight pennant race with 7 other teams within 7.5 games of the Cubs. The St. Louis Cardinals had the best month of June (19-12) and moved into 3rd place, 1.5 games behind Chicago. The Cardinals have the best RF/RA DIFF (+70), mainly due to having the top pitching in the league. The 2nd place Cincinnati Reds continued their good level of play in June and have the highest rated offense in the NL. The most surprising team has been the Houston Astros. They're at .500 (37-37), but have 10 Wins more than their actual record at this point in the season. The good pennant race continues in the NL.

1967 AL Game: Clev. @ Det. Kaline Injured

 June 27,1967

  The Detroit Tigers won a hard fought battle tonight against the Cleveland Indians but suffered a major casualty when Al Kaline hurt his wrist. Detroit won the game 7-6 with a big 4 run 7th inning. Kaline had a walk and 2 hits in the ballgame, 1 a solo homerun. But after striking out for the 2nd time in the 8th inning he fractured his wrist after he slammed his bat into the rack. Kaline took the field in the 9th and finished out the game because the injury wasn't determined until after the game. It's expected that Kaline will be out at least a month. Mickey Stanley is expected to replace Kaline in the everyday lineup. He'll play CF with Jim Northrup sliding over to RF.

One run was the difference at Tiger Stadium as the Detroit Tigers defeated the
Cleveland Indians 7 to 6.
 
Detroit had 4 runs cross the plate in the 7th inning when they came up with 3
base hits.  They would prove to be the difference in the contest.  Cleveland
had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.  
 
The win was credited to Earl Wilson(9-4) who went 7 innings allowing 5 runs.
Wilson got help from Hank Aguirre who earned his 2nd save.  Sam McDowell(3-8)
ended up with the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 7 runs in 6
and 2/3 innings.  
 
'It was a tough one to lose' said Joe Adcock 'We'll get them next time out.'
