Gill's complete game paces Tigers

TIGERS 7, Washington 1
at Detroit, MI

WAS   000 100 000 = 1-5-1
DET    103 200 10x = 7-13-0
WP- Gill (6-7); LP- DeShong
HR- none

George Gill threw a complete game, five-hitter, and Birdie Tebbetts continued his torrid hitting as the Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 7-1, at Briggs Stadium. The win was the Tigers' fifth in six games and seventh in their last 10. Tebbetts had three singles and four RBI, lifting his average to .436 as he fills in for injured catcher Rudy York.  Gill walked two and struck out four, and he added a single to help his cause. Taffy Wright came a home run away from hitting for the cycle for Washington.

TIGERS: 47-42; Home: 21-21; Away: 26-21

Gill's record sits at 6-7 after twirling his fourth complete game of the season
