Lazzeri Stars in 9-3 Wolverines Win
The Detroit Wolverines stopped the Memphis Red Sox, 9-3, at Fenway Park. The Wolverines got a big game from Tony Lazzeri, who was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 6 RBI and scoring once. Detroit pitcher Hal Newhouser got the win, upping his record to 4-2. Heath Bell got the loss. The Wolverines, at 44-54, sit in 4th place in the American League Bill James Division.

With Detroit leading 3-2 in the top of the seventh, Lazzeri hit a sinker from Heath Bell for a grand slam home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Wolverines ahead, 7-2.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Lazzeri told the Detroit Bulletin.
