Hank Greenberg's grand slam in the sixth inning capped a rally from an 11-5 deficit as the Tigers beat Chicago, 12-11, at Briggs Stadium. The White Sox lost despite posting seven runs in the fifth inning. Greenberg was a triple shy of a cycle. Down 11-5, the Tigers scored twice in the fifth inning and five in the sixth. They did all their scoring in the middle innings. Schoolboy Rowe pitched three shutout innings of relief to earn the save for winner Slick Coffman. The game marked the second in a row in which a Greenberg homer provided the game's final runs and a victory for Detroit.
Greenberg was Tigers hero for the second game in a row
