The Tigers used a four-run second inning to propel them to victory, though they had to hold off a charging Red Sox offense late in the game. Dixie Walker's three-run home run was the big blow in the second frame. Rudy York added a two-run shot in the fifth. But the Red Sox pecked away and brought the potential game-winning run to the plate in the ninth. Schoolboy Rowe induced a ground ball from Joe Cronin to seal the win.

HR- Peacock, BOS (3rd inning; 0 on, 1 out); Greenberg, DET (22; 7th inning, 0 on, 0 out)
The Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning when Joe Vosmik misplayed Chick Morgan's fly ball to deep center field so badly that Morgan circled the bases. But the Tigers suffered through a disastrous eighth on defense, when the Red Sox scored five runs on six hits and an error, giving Boston a split of the doubleheader. Hank Greenberg's 22nd home run in the seventh inning tied the game, 1-1.
York's two-run homer in the fifth inning of Game 1 gave the Tigers a 6-1 lead
