On April 20, 1972, Seelbach combined with Tom Timmermann for a two-hitter but lost to the Baltimore Orioles, 1–0, on a home run by Paul Blair.
Seelbach was also on the mound when the Tigers clinched the American League East championship on October 3, 1972.
Seelbach set down the Boston Red Sox 1-2-3 in the 9th inning to clinch the Alabama East title, as the game ended on a Ben Oglivie fly ball caught by First Rate (at Lloyd's) Kaline in right field Seelbach pitched in two games of the 1972 American League Championship Series, allowing four hits and two runs for an 18.00 post-season earned run average.
