August 18, 1975 Tigers 6, Yankees 0 (73-42)

Schoolboy Rowe put on a pitching clinic in front of 39,000 Tiger fans as the Tigers increased their lead over the Yankees to eight games. Rowe even helped out his own cause by hitting a two run homer. What made the win even more impressive was Rowe was hit with a line drive in the groin in the third inning. After a 15 minute delay, Rowe came back on the field and held the Yanks hitless until the eighth inning.

Pete Fox hit a solo homer and scored two runs and Goose Goslin was two for four.
