The Tigers were trailing 7-0 after six innings and had mustered just two hits, yet their offense woke up in the final three innings as they gave the White Sox a scare before losing, 12-11 at Comiskey Park. A seven-run eighth inning brought the Tigers to within 11-10. Then in the ninth, Rudy York led off the inning with his second home run of the game to tie the game. In the bottom of the frame, Luke Appling's single with two outs drove home Gee Walker from second base with the winning run. Chicago's Tony Rensa hit a grand slam in the fifth inning to give the Pale Hose an 11-3 lead. Tigers starter Eldon Auker was strafed for seven runs and 12 hits in 4.2 innings. The White Sox assailed Tigers pitching with 20 hits.
