TIGERS 8, Washington 6
at Washington, DC
DET 004 022 000 = 8-12-4
WAS 100 104 000 = 6-11-4
WP- Kennedy (8-5); SV- Coffman (3); LP- Chase
HR- Greenberg, DET (26; 5th inning; 0 on, 0 out)
It won't go down as the prettiest of wins, but the Tigers overcame four errors and outlasted the Washington Senators, 8-6, on Tuesday afternoon. Part of the reason for the win was that the Senators committed four errors as well. Each team had a four-run inning but the Tigers had just enough extra offense to win. Hank Greenberg smashed his 26th home run, a solo shot in the fifth inning. Tigers starter Vern Kennedy got the win, despite giving up six runs (only two earned) and nine hits in 5.2 innings. Birdie Tebbetts, starting at catcher to give Rudy York a rest, had three hits and a walk.
Kennedy wasn't great, but he was good enough to earn his eighth win
