Hank Greenberg is pursuing Babe Ruth's single season home run record, but on Tuesday it was a measly single from Greenberg that beat the Boston Red Sox at Briggs Stadium. Greenberg's single with two out in the bottom of the ninth scored Dixie Walker to lead the Tigers to a 3-2 victory. The game-winning rally started with nobody on base. Walker singled, as did Charlie Gehringer. That brought up Greenberg, who has 52 homers. But a home run wasn't needed and the Tigers tied a season high by moving to 11 games above .500. Vern Kennedy pitched a complete game and was rewarded with his 11th win.
TIGERS: 73-62; Home: 33-32; Away: 40-30
Kennedy was the beneficiary of Greenberg's heroics
