TIGERS 7, Boston 6 (11 innings)
at Detroit, MI
BOS 201 210 000 00 = 6-9-3
DET 010 040 001 01 = 7-8-1
WP- Coffman (1-3); LP- Dickman
HR- Cronin, BOS 2 (1st inning; 1 on, 2 out; 5th inning; 0 on, 2 out); York, DET (18; 5th inning; 3 on, 2 out)
Hank Greenberg's double to deep left center scored Billy Rogell with the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning as the Tigers completed a comeback from a 6-1 deficit. Rudy York's grand slam in the fifth inning drew the Tigers to within one run, and Jo-Jo White's double with two out in the ninth inning tied the game, 6-6. In the 11th, Rogell reached first base on an error by Joe Cronin, stole second, and after an intentional walk, Greenberg drove an Emerson Dickman pitch up the alley to plate the winning run. Cronin hit two homers and had four RBI for Boston. Schoolboy Rowe pitched four innings of hitless, shutout baseball in relief as the Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak.
Boston's Jimmie Foxx and Detroit's Rudy York discuss hitting prior to Friday's game. It must have worked for York, who hit a grand slam.
