Schoolboy Rowe worked out of a jam in the seventh inning in relief, then smacked a two-run double in the bottom of the inning, helping the Tigers break open a tie game with a six-run frame on their way to defeating the Philadelphia A's, 9-6. Philly's "Indian Bob" Johnson tied the game, 3-3, with a two-run homer in the sixth inning off starter Elden Auker. In the seventh, the A's had runners on first and second with nobody out when Tigers manager Mickey Cochrane summoned Rowe from the bullpen. Schoolboy retired the next three hitters to keep the score tied. The Tigers then exploded for six runs in their half of the seventh. Chick Morgan's two-run single started the onslaught. The Tigers have won six of their past seven games.
