Major League Baseball season March 2026 November 2013 Detroit Tigers 1967 American League Tiger Stadium Detroit, Michigan 91 71 y T–2nd John Fetzer Jim Campbell Mayo Smith WJBK(George Kell, Larry Osterman) WJR(Ernie Harwell, Ray Lane) The 1967 Detroit Tigers season was the team's 67th season and the 56th season at Tiger Stadium. The team finished tied for second in the American League with the Minnesota Twins with 91 wins and 71 losses, one game behind the AL pennant-winning Boston Red Sox. The season is notable as during the middle of the 1967 season, a number of home games were cancelled due to the 1967 Detroit riot; this would be the last time a game would be cancelled due to rioting, until the 1992 LA Dodgers had their games cancelled due to the 1992 riots. Regular season On April 30, 1967, Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Barber threw a no-hitter versus the Detroit Tigers but lost in a 2–1 final. Barber would become the first pitcher in the history of the American League whose no-hit game ended in a loss.100 Things Orioles Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die, Dan Connolly, Triumph Books, Chicago, 2015, ISBN 978-1-62937-041-5, p.212 Season standings Detroit Tigers Record vs. opponents DET Notable transactions June 6, 1967: Geoff Zahn was drafted by the Tigers in the 2nd round of the secondary phase of the 1967 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign.Geoff Zahn at Baseball Reference Roster 1967 Detroit Tigers Roster Pitchers 37 Hank Aguirre 40 Pat Dobson 20 Fred Gladding 18 John Hiller 30 Johnny Klippstein 19 George Korince 15 Fred Lasher 29 Mickey Lolich 28 Mike Marshall 17 Denny McLain 27 Bill Monbouquette 28 Orlando Peña 22 Johnny Podres 15 Larry Sherry 21 Joe Sparma 14 Dave Wickersham 16 Earl Wilson Catchers 11 Bill Freehan 38 Bill Heath 34 Jim Price Infielders 33 Dave Campbell 25 Norm Cash  9 Jerry Lumpe 43 Tom Matchick  7 Eddie Mathews  3 Dick McAuliffe  1 Ray Oyler 44 Dick Tracewski  8 Don Wert  2 Jake Wood Outfielders 26 Gates Brown 39 Wayne Comer 30 Lenny Green 23 Willie Horton  6 Al Kaline  4 Jim Landis  5 Jim Northrup 24 Mickey Stanley Manager 10 Mayo Smith Coaches 50 Tony Cuccinello 51 Wally Moses 52 Hal Naragon 53 Johnny Sain Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in Pos Player G AB H Avg.
