1969 Detroit Tigers- Playoffs

1969 Playoffs

Round Robin style, so games against all 11 AL Teams.

Top 4 move on to regular postseason.

Game One- 

Disappointing loss to Seattle. 

Seattle's pitching held up well.

John Gelnar 5+ IP for Seattle

Tigers were down 4-0 in the 9th and tried to rally against Diego Segui, but it fell short.

Solid pitching performance by Denny McLain wasted (6 IP, 2H)

Game Two-

Brutal loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Offense gave Tigers a 4-0 lead, but Twins scored in 4th through 7th innings to take the lead and then Ron Perranoski held on. The bullpen was again a negative. Pat Dobson faltered in the first game and it was Tom Timmermann in game two. Lolich was also shaky.

Tough start to pool play. In game one, the offense didn't show up until late, and in game two, the pitching staff let the offense down.

After 2 games, zero points.

Earl Wilson takes on the Cleveland Indians and Stan Williams
