July 18, 1935 Tigers 8, Red Sox 0 (50-33)

Schoolboy Rowe ended the Tigers mini-skid with a five hit shutout while he also got things done with the bat. He had the game’s only extra basehit (a triple) as he went three for three with two RBIs and two runs.

Hank Greenberg and Goose Goslin also drove in a pair with singles as the Tigers finally won their 50th game of the season.

With the win, the Tigers once again pulled to within a game and a half of the first place Yankees, who lost in extra innings to the last place St. Louis Browns.
