Detroit Tigers starter Jim Bunning led his team to victory over the Oakland Athletics, 2-1. The right-hander was locked-in. Max Scherzer earned save number 3 this season. The third-place Tigers improved to 23-29.

Detroit went in front, 2-0, on Hank Greenberg's 8th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Greenberg hit in the top of the seventh, left Oakland pitcher Eddie Plank visibly perturbed.

"Runs were tough to come by," said Greenberg. "But we scored just enough to win."
