TIGERS 8, Cleveland 6
at Detroit, MI
CLE 000 010 410 = 6-9-1
DET 003 102 20x = 8-12-1
WP- Coffman (3-3); SV- Rowe (7); LP- Harder
HR- Kroner, CLE (7th inning, 0 on, 0 out)
Hank Greenberg's bases-clearing, three-run triple in the third inning drew first blood, and pitcher Slick Coffman helped his own cause with a two-run double in the sixth, as the Tigers held off the Cleveland Indians, 8-6, at Briggs Stadium. Greenberg's two-out drive into the left-center field gap plated Chet Morgan, Dixie Walker and Charlie Gehringer, who all singled with two outs. In the sixth, Coffman flared a hit that dropped just inside the right field line, about 15 feet out of the infield. That hit, also with two outs, scored two runs to make the score 6-1. Coffman was then charged with four runs in the seventh inning, but the Tigers responded with a two-run, two-out single from Pete Fox in their half of the inning to make the score 8-5. Schoolboy Rowe ended a pitching slump with three innings of one-run ball to notch his seventh save. Seven of the eight Tigers RBI came with two outs.
TIGERS: 69-60; Home: 31-30; Away: 38-30
Pete Fox's two-out, two-run single in the seventh restored some insurance for the Tigers
