1969 – The Tigers finally get a taste of their own medicine. Seeming to have a knack for coming back from late inning deficits to hand the Nats heartbreaking defeats over the years, the shoe is on the other foot tonight in Detroit. The Tigers score 3rd and 5th inning runs to gain a 2-0 advantage. In the top of the 6th, a Frank Howard homer and a Bernie Allen double knots the affair at 2-2. The score stays the same until the top of the 10th, when the Sens bat around and kick the Tigers for 5 runs. Brant Alyea‘s 2-run homer in the inning is the icing on the cake in the 7-2 Washington win.
