One day after blowing a big lead, the St. Louis Browns staged their own rally on Sunday, scoring three runs in the eighth inning to tie the game, then plating four runners in the tenth to upend the Tigers, 9-5 at Briggs Stadium. In the ninth, the same situation presented itself as it did on Saturday in the ninth: with the game tied, the Tigers had a runner on third with one out, and the Browns intentionally walked the next two hitters to load the bases. But unlike on Saturday, when Billy Rogell delivered the game-winning hit, Rudy York grounded into a fielders choice at home plate and Pete Fox also grounded out to end the threat. In the tenth, five of the first six Browns hitters reached base as they nickel and dimed the Tigers to the tune of four runs. Eight different Browns hitters had one RBI each. The teams split the four-game weekend series.
TIGERS 59-53; Home: 30-29; Away: 29-24
St. Louis starter Bobo Newsom, shown before Sunday's game, gave up three home runs, but they were all of the solo variety.
