Charlie Gehringer's three-run homer in the eighth inning erased a 3-2 deficit, and the Tigers overcame the Red Sox, 6-3. The Tigers added another run in the eighth to give some breathing room to Vern Kennedy, who was making his first appearance in relief after 25 starts. The Tigers turned a triple play in the third inning, when with runners on first and second, Ray Chapman hit a sinking line drive to center field on which Chet Morgan made a diving catch. Morgan fired the ball to shortstop Mark Christman, who doubled off the runner on second. Christman then threw to first baseman Hank Greenberg to complete the triple killing.
TIGERS 65-56; Home: 30-29; Away: 35-27
