Tribe uses balanced attack to rout Tigers, 10-4

Cleveland 10, TIGERS 4
at Detroit, MI

CLE   212 002 030 = 10-18-3
DET   000 110 002 = 4-8-2
WP- Feller; LP- Eisenstat (11-5)
HR- Hale, CLE (2nd inning; 0 on, 1 out)

The Tigers' return home after a 15-game road trip wasn't happy, as the Cleveland Indians jumped all over starter Harry Eisenstat on their way to a 10-4 win at Briggs Stadium. Eight different Indians hitters each had at least one RBI in the balanced attack. The Tribe had a 5-0 lead by the third inning and it was all downhill from there for Detroit. Nineteen year-old Bob Feller pitched six strong innings to earn the win.

TIGERS: 68-60; Home: 30-30; Away: 38-30


The high-kicking Feller, just 19, tossed six innings of five-hit ball, and neither of the two runs he allowed were earned
