at Cleveland, OH

Despite Hank Greenberg's 58th home run and a five-run third inning, the Tigers managed to lose to the Cleveland Indians, 8-7, at League Park. The Indians scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, then in the tenth, Stormy Weatherly delivered a two-out single that scored Ken Keltner from second base with the winning run. Harry Eisenstat was victimized by both Indians rallies.
