Memphis Red Sox (9-8) 2 0 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 6 10 1

Greenberg Hits 2 home runs in Wolverines Win
Getting a good performance from first baseman Hank Greenberg, the Detroit Wolverines defeated the Memphis Red Sox, 13-6. Greenberg slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for the Wolverines. Memphis now is 9-8.

Had Charlie Gehringer not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Gehringer hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Wolverines.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," Gehringer told the Detroit Times.
