TIGERS 3-5, St. Louis 4-4 (DH)
at St. Louis, MO
Game 1
DET 001 000 200 = 3-7-1
STL 300 000 10x = 4-10-0
WP- Newsom; LP- Kennedy (8-8)
HR- Almada, STL (1st inning; 0 on, 0 out)
The Browns jumped on Tigers starter Vern Kennedy in the very first inning and held on for the win. Mel Almada led off the first with a home run, then Jo-Jo White committed an error in center field that enabled the next hitter, George McQuinn, to circle the bases. Beau Mills then tripled and came home on a fielder's choice. Both Kennedy and St. Louis starter Bobo Newsom went the distance. The last-place Browns moved to 8-4 vs. Detroit this year.
Game 2
DET 010 101 002 = 5-10-3
STL 000 010 102 = 4-6-0
WP- Auker (6-7); SV- Rowe (5); LP- L. Mills
HR- Greenberg, DET (34; 4th inning; 0 on, 0 out)
The Tigers held the Browns at bay from start to finish, though the ninth inning got hairy. After scoring twice in the ninth to take a 5-2 lead, the Tigers had to survive a scary Browns rally. The final out wasn't made until two runs, two errors and three hits had occurred. Schoolboy Rowe got Beau Mills to ground out with runners on first and second to finally nail down the twinbill split.
TIGERS: 54-51; Home: 25-27; Away: 29-24
In Game 2, Hank Greenberg slammed his 34th home run and went over 100 RBI for the season (101)
