Too Much Kreevich as Chisox Slip Past Bengals

Chicago 6, TIGERS 5
at Detroit, MI

CHI   102 100 200 = 6-14-0
DET  004 100 000 = 5-10-1
WP- Whitehead; SV- Gabler; LP- Auker (4-5)
HR- Gehringer (13; 3rd inning; 2 on, 1 out); Greenberg (21; 3rd inning; 0 on, 2 out); Laabs (9; 4th inning; 0 on, 2 out)

Mike Kreevich cracked two triples and a double, drove in two and scored two runs as the White Sox overcame Tigers power. The Detroiters scored four runs in the third inning---three on a home run by Charlie Gehringer and another on a solo blast from Hank Greenberg. Another Tigers homer was hit by Chet Laabs in the fourth inning. But a two-run seventh inning put Chicago ahead to stay. Kreevich got that rally started with his second triple of the game. In the second inning, the Tigers had runners thrown out at the plate twice in consecutive plate appearances.


Kreevich had eight total bases in Saturday's win
