TIGERS 3, Washington 0
at Detroit, MI
WAS 000 000 000 = 0-6-0
DET 200 100 00x = 3-10-0
WP- Kennedy (12-8); LP- Appleton
HR- Greenberg, DET (54; 1st inning; 1 on, 2 out)
Vern Kennedy spun a six-hit shutout, Hank Greenberg slammed his 54th home run, and the Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 3-0, to sweep a two-game series. Greenberg's pursuit of Babe Ruth's single season home run record of 60 continued, as Hank needs six in the Tigers' final 13 games to tie the Bambino. Kennedy was brilliant, walking two and recording two strikeouts. Only one Senators base runner reached third base and only one other reached second base. Rudy York and Dixie Walker had two hits each for the Tigers, who have won nine of 13.
TIGERS: 77-64; Home: 37-34; Away: 40-30
Kennedy lifted his record to 12-8 with a sterling performance
