Game 1
The Tigers' furious three-run rally in the ninth fell just short. Rudy York struck out with Billy Rogell on third base and Charlie Gehringer on first to end the game. York had brought the Tigers to within 4-2 with a two-run shot in the fourth inning. Tigers starter Elden Auker surrendered two, two-run homers. In the ninth, Rogell's triple drove in two runs to make the game close.
Game 2
Hank Greenberg's two-run homer tied the game in the sixth inning, and Jo-Jo White's sacrifice fly broke the tie an inning later. The Tigers added an insurance run in the eighth, which they needed thanks to a dicey Indians rally in the ninth. Slick Coffman induced a force out from Moose Solters with the tying run on second base and the go-ahead run on first to preserve the win for Harry Eisenstat. The Tigers thus earned a doubleheader split in front of over 53,000 fans who celebrated Independence Day at Briggs Stadium. The All-Star break begins and the Tigers will return to action on July 8.
Coffman pitched a rocky ninth but earned his second save in the nightcap
