at Detroit, MI
Game 1

None out when winning run scored.
WP- Eisenstat (9-4); LP- Lyons
HR- Greenberg, DET (35; 9th inning; 2 on, 0 out)
Hank Greenberg slugged a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth as the Tigers stole a game at the end in which they looked sluggish until the eighth inning. Trailing 3-0 in the eighth, the Tigers scored a run on a Don Ross double and a Roy Cullenbine triple, a rally started with two outs and nobody on base. In the ninth, Billy Rogell reached on an error and Charlie Gehringer walked. That set the table for Greenberg, who sent his 35th home run deep into the upper deck in left field. White Sox starter Ted Lyons was victimized.
