at New York, NY

WP- Chandler; LP- Auker (4-6)

Thirty-five year-old Lou Gehrig swatted a grand slam in the first inning and added a solo homer in the third, and Red Rolfe hit a two-run homer in the second inning as the New York Yankees jumped all over Tigers starter Eldon Auker early en route to a 7-1 win in the rubber game of a weekend series at Yankee Stadium. Hank Greenberg belted a solo home run, his fourth round-tripper of the week. The lone bright spot for Detroit was reliever Tommy Bridges, who spun 4.2 innings of shutout baseball after entering the game in the third inning.
Gehrig's five RBI paced the Yankees on Sunday
