Bridges pitches complete game as Tigers stifle Senators

TIGERS 7, Washington 1
at Detroit, MI

WAS   100 000 000 = 1-6-3
DET    060 100 00x = 7-10-0
WP- Bridges (8-6); LP- Chase
HR- Gehringer, DET (26; 2nd inning; 2 on, 2 out)

Tommy Bridges overcame a rough first inning to pitch a complete game, six-hitter, and the Tigers erupted for six runs in the second inning---three of them unearned---in waltzing to a 7-1 win over the Washington Senators at Briggs Stadium. Three of the first four Senators batters reached base and Bridges eventually walked in a run. But Bridges scattered four harmless hits the rest of the way to improve to 8-6. He also overcame issuing eight walks. Roy Cullenbine, in a rare start, had two hits, including a two-run triple. Hank Greenberg was 1-for-4 with an RBI but no home runs, keeping him at 53 for the season.

TIGERS: 76-64; Home: 36-34; Away: 40-30


Roy Cullenbine got a rare start and had two hits and two RBI
