None out when winning run scored.
WP- Rowe (7-7); LP- Heving
HR- Foxx, BOS (1st inning; 1 on, 1 out)
Rudy York singled home Dixie Walker to cap a two-run rally in the ninth inning, and the Tigers upended the Boston Red Sox, 6-5 at Briggs Stadium. The Red Sox scored their runs by the third inning and it looked like they were going to hang on for the win. But Chet Morgan led off the ninth with a single, and Walker tripled him home, tying the game, 5-5. Charlie Gehringer walked, and Hank Greenberg was walked intentionally, to a chorus of boos, to load the bases. Greenberg has 52 home runs and is chasing Babe Ruth's single-season record of 60. With the infield drawn in, York punched a hit past shortstop Joe Cronin and into center field to score the winning run.
TIGERS: 74-62; Home: 34-32; Away: 40-30
York's second hit of the game was the most important
