GAME 1
Newhouser vs Hamlin
Tigers 9, A's 0
On paper the pitching matchup was a complete mismatch, but for 7 innings it was as close as can be. Then like lightning the Tigers struck for 7 runs in the top of the 8th to blow the doors white open on Philly's proverbial barn. Detroit's balanced attack was led by Rudy York (2-4), who had 3 RBI. Prince Hal fanned 10 and easily won his 4th of the year against 1 defeat.
GAME 2
Trout vs Newsom
A's 7, Tigers 6
The Mack-men came very close to blowing a 7 run lead by allowing the Tigers to score 3 runs in both the 7th and 8th innings. Bobo Newsom looked sharp as a tack until hits and errors did him in. Woody Wheaton came on for his 3rd save of the year by pitching a scoreless 9th. A big day at the plate for Philadelphia's left fielder Ford Garrison (3-4) who knocked in 3 and scored 3.
GAME 3
Overmire vs Black
Tigers 7, A's 4
Detroit revved up their motor and drove all over the A's. Hank Greenberg hit his 3rd homer of the year, which accounted for 2 of Detroit's 7 runs. Roy Cullenbine (3-4) and Bob Swift (3-3) were on base practically every inning. Both teams left a combined 19 runners on base.
GAME 4
Benton vs Christopher
Tigers 8, A's 1
The Motown 9 cruised to an easy double header sweep and took 3 of 4 from the A's in the series. Detroit (15-9) now has a 3 game lead over 3 teams tied for 2nd. Al Benton had an easy time of it on the hill. Little Eddie Mayo hit his 5th roundtripper of the season as part of his 3 for 5 day. Greenberg went 3 for 4 and scored 2 and knocked in 2.
