HR- Greenberg, DET (43; 1st inning; 1 on, 2 out)
The Yankees lineup is hard to contain for an entire game, so when George Gill had the Yanks shut out through six innings on two hits, you wondered whether Gill could sustain his performance. He couldn't, and the Yankees beat the Tigers, 6-2. Detroit only got two hits, and only advanced two runners as far as second base after the first inning. Meanwhile, Gill was shutting down the Yankees' vaunted lineup through six. In the seventh, a walk, a hit batsman, a triple and a single produced three Yankees runs. New York added three more runs in the eighth off reliever Al Benton. The big blow in the eighth was Joe DiMaggio's two-run triple. Bill Dickey tripled home two runs in the seventh. The Tigers fell to an even 20 games behind the 85-37 Bronx Bombers.
TIGERS: 65-57; Home: 30-29; Away: 35-28
Gill was masterful through six innings, but then the Yankees finally broke through
