It was the St. Louis Cardinals that got off to a quick start today in Game 4 of the 1968 World Series at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. With 2 outs in the top of the 1st inning Roger Maris doubled and Orlando Cepeda drove him home with a double of his own to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. Similar to Game 1, Detroit starter Denny McLain and St. Louis starter Bob Gibson settled in after that initial scoring and gave fans a clinic on brilliant pitching. The score was still 1-0 until the bottom of the 8th when Tiger 1st baseman Norm Cash (pictured) blasted a homerun into the upper deck in rightfield. The 2 teams went down in order in the 9th, and the game went to extra innings tied 1-1 without either starter still pitching. McLain was pinch-hit for in the bottom of the 7th and Gibson in the top of the 10th. In the top of the 10th, Julian Javier led off with a double but was left stranded. Dick McAuliffe led off the bottom of the 10th with a base hit off reliever Joe Hoerner. Mickey Stanley then laid down a bunt that catcher Tim McCarver fielded and threw over the head of the 1st baseman Cepeda for a 2 base error. With runners at 2nd and 3rd, Al Kaline struck out but Norm Cash followed with a single through a drawn in infield, scoring McAuliffe and giving Detroit a 2-1 victory.
The Tigers now hold a 3-1 lead in The Series. Mickey Lolich will try to clinch the World Series Championship tomorrow for Detroit, Ray Washburn will start for the Cardinals.
