Yankees Squeeze Out Win in Pitching Duel
In a tight game between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees, nobody was more important for the winners than Babe Ruth. Ruth was masterful in the 1-0 win.

Bobby Higginson had a chance to be a hero in the top of the ninth inning. With Detroit trailing 1-0, Detroit had the bases empty. But Higginson grounded out.

At 70-44, the Yankees are currently first in the American League Eastern Division.
