TIGERS 6, Chicago 4
at Chicago, IL
DET 003 000 102 = 6-9-3
CHI 010 011 100 = 4-10-2
WP- Rowe (6-3); LP- Rigney
HR- York, DET (19; 3rd inning; 2 on, 0 out)
The game had been sloppy all afternoon, so it was fitting that an error led to the winning run. The Tigers scored twice in the ninth inning, thanks in part to a booted ball by Chicago third baseman Marv Owen, and beat the White Sox, 6-4. Chet Morgan's two-out single in the ninth plated Charlie Gehringer (who reached on the error) and Hank Greenberg came home on Mark Christman's single. Both hits came after the side should have been retired if it wasn't for Owen's error. The Tigers committed three miscues which led to three unearned White Sox runs. The White Sox' two errors also led to three unearned runs. Rudy York's 19th homer in the third inning vaulted Detroit into a 3-1 lead. The Tigers have won three of four since ending their five-game losing streak.
TIGERS: 52-48; Home: 25-27; Away: 27-21
Schoolboy Rowe pitched two scoreless innings in relief to earn his sixth win
