Tigers no-hit into seventh, fall to Knott, Chisox

Chicago 5, TIGERS 3
at Chicago, IL

DET   000 000 102 = 3-4-1
CHI    004 000 10x = 5-10-1
WP- Knott; SV- Rigney; LP- Bridges (6-6)
HR- Greenberg, DET (46; 9th inning, 0 on, 0 out); Fox, DET (6; 9th inning; 0 on, 1 out)

Jack Knott didn't allow a base hit until one out in the seventh inning, and by that time, his Chicago White Sox had a 4-0 lead over the Tigers. Rudy York's double spoiled Knott's no-hit bid. In the third inning, the Chisox scored four times off Tommy Bridges. Five consecutive White Sox hitters reached base during the rally. The Tigers made things interesting in the ninth inning, when Hank Greenberg and Pete Fox each hit solo homers to make the score 5-3. But Johnny Rigney was summoned from the bullpen and he set down Billy Rogell and Mark Christman to end the game.

TIGERS: 66-59; Home: 30-29; Away: 36-30


Chicago's Knott, warming up prior to Saturday's game, handcuffed the Tigers until the seventh inning
