Charlie Root, who is tied for 5th in the AL in strikeouts with 130, was locked in. The right-hander led the Detroit Wolverines to a 7-5 win against the Chicago American Giants at Tiger Stadium. Chad Bradford got the save, his 8th in 15 chances. Detroit has now won 6 straight.

Al Kaline had a big 2-run home run for the Wolverines in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Detroit leading 5-2 and a runner on 3rd, he sized up a sinker from Tricky Nichols, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in complete games with 2, and punished it. The result was his 20th home run of the season, which put the Wolverines on top, 7-2.

"Charlie can overpower you," said Detroit manager Daniel Makonnen.
