July 21, 1935 Red Sox 7, Tigers 6 (52-34)

The Tigers dropped out of first place by a half game when they came from behing to score three runs in the ninth only to see Tommy Bridges blow the come from behind win by giving up three runs in the ninth. Wes Ferrell had the big blast for the Red Sox as he hit a three run pinch hit walk off homer to end the game.

Pete Fox had three hits, including two doubles, and an RBI. Ray Hayworth also had three hits while Goose Goslin and Billy Rogell each had two hits.

The loss put the Tigers a half game back of the first place Yankees and they had a huge three game series coming up against the Yanks.

July 19, 1935 Tigers 9, Red Sox 7 (51-33)

A five run sixth inning was the difference in this game as the Tigers took their second straight game over the Red Sox. Charlie Gehringer had a huge bases loaded triple in the inning as the three different Tigers had three baggers.

Tommy Bridges pitched six innings in earning the win, but he received help from three different relief pitchers. Schoolboy Rowe earned the save as he came in to relieve Elden Auker in the ninth. Rowe got them out of a huge jam after Auker walked the bases loaded.

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.

July 14, 1935 Athletics 4, Tigers 3 (49-32)

The Tigers 50th win eluded them as the A’s tagged Schoolboy Rowe in the bottom of the tenth to put the game away. The Tigers didn’t give him much run support as they managed only five hits in the game.

Hank Greenberg had three of those five hits and drove in all three runs. Mickey Cochrane scored twice.

July 13, 1935 Athletics 18, Tigers 5 (48-31)

This wasn’t a good way to start a double header. Fortunately the Tiger’s pitching staff was somewhat rested from the All Star Break as the A’s jumped all over Elden Auker, who couldn’t even last two innings. By the end of the fourth inning the score was 13-2.

Hank Greenberg was two for four and Pete Fox scored twice. Other then that, there was little good to say about this game. It would be the worst defeat of the season for the Tigers.

July 13, 1935 Tigers 6, Athletics 3 (49-31)

Tommy Bridges bounced back after a couple of poor starts as he gave the Tigers a much needed jolt after the drubbing they took earlier in the day. He’d give up 10 hits, but only three A’s crossed the plate.

Mickey Cochrane went two for four with two runs scored and Hank Greenberg went two for four with a homer, two runs and two RBIs.

The split put the Tigers a game back of the first place Yankees, who lost their game to the White Sox.

July 12, 1935 Tigers 2, Senators 1 (48-30)

General Crowder threw a gem in this pitching duel as the Tigers won their series against the Senators. Crowder gave up only one run on five hits.

The Tiger’s bats didn’t far much better then the Senators did as they were held to seven hits. Marv Owen and Hank Greenberg drove in the two Tiger runs and they both singled twice.

July 11, 1935 Tigers 7, Senators 6 (47-30)

A six run fourth inning by the Senators appeared to put this one out of reach, but two runs in the eighth put the game into extra frames. The Tigers didn’t waste much time in extra innings as Billy Rogell reached base on an error and scored the winning run on relief pitcher Chief Hogsett’s single.

The Tigers had only seven hits, but both Charlie Gehringer and Goose Goslin homered. Schoolboy Rowe pitched 7 1/3 innings with the big fourth inning his only real flaw. He struck out four.

July 10, 1935 Senators 12, Tigers 11 (46-30)

The Tigers lost their first game in almost two weeks, but they didn’t go down without a fight. The Senators put seven runs on the board in the first inning and were up 12-5 before they made an attempt at a comeback. They scored a single run in the eighth, then in the ninth Charlie Gehringer led off the inning with a solo homer. Four runs later, the Tigers were down by a single run and Charlie Gehringer was back up with the tying and winning runs on base. Unfortunately, he couldn’t repeat his heroics of earlier in the inning, and he flew out to end the game.

Six different Tigers had multihit games and Joe Sullivan came in to relieve Tommy Bridges of the shelling he took in the first inning. In all, Bridges was only able to get a single batter out before giving up four hits.

July 7, 1935 Tigers 12, Browns 5 (46-29)

For the fourth time in five games, the Tigers scored double digit runs against the bottom dwellar of the American League. The win was their tenth straight, and they headed into the All Star Break a single game back of the first place Yankees.

The Tigers put up eleven of their twelve runs in the first three innings as they gave Elden Auker plenty of run support. Charlie Gehringer went three for three with four runs and Hank Greenberg went two for five with a double, a triple and three RBIs.

Auker was hit hard, but he only yielded five runs, all of which were driven in by Moose Solters with three homers. Schoolboy Rowe threw two shutout innings to end the game and the Tigers went into the break on a winning note.

July 6, 1935 Tigers 7, Browns 6 (45-29)

The Tigers won their ninth straight game as they came from behind against the Browns. Tommy Bridges only lasted two innings as the Browns took a 5-2 lead, but a run in the bottom of the second shaved the lead to two runs. The Tigers added a run in the fourth and then took the lead for good in the sixth with two more.

The top three batters (Fox, Cochrane and Gehringer) scored all seven Tiger runs . Charlie Gehringer went two for two with two runs and two RBIs while leadoff hitter Pete Fox scored three runs.

Schoolboy Rowe held the Browns in check for the final seven innings as he gave up only a single run on five hits to earn the relief win.

July 5, 1935 Tigers 16, Browns 1 (44-29)

After putting 29 runs on the board in a doubleheader against the last place Browns a little over a week ago, the Tigers continued to beat up on St. Louis’ pitching in a new series at Navin Field. Hank Greenberg had one of his best games of the season as he was perfect a four for four. He drove in four, scored four and two of his four hits were homeruns.

Pete Fox and Goose Goslin also had big games. Fox went three for five with two doubles and three runs scored. Goslin went three for four with a triple, three RBIs and he scored four times.

Vic Sorrell kept the Browns in check for the entire game. The Browns scored a single run in the third, but that was the only run they’d get. Sorrell allowed only seven hits and he struck out three.

The win was the Tigers eighth in a row.

July 4, 1935 Tigers 6, Indians 5 (42-29)

Doubleheaders are rough on a team. Doubleheaders where the first game goes into extra frames is even tougher, and that’s exactly what happened to the Tigers on Independence Day. After trailing 5-4, the Tigers scored a run in the top of the ninth to tie it, and they scored a run in the eleventh to win their sixth straight.

Mickey Cochrane went four for five with a homer and three runs scored while Goose Goslin went two for six with a couple of RBIs. Billy Rogell also had two hits.

General Crowder started the game and went 5 1/3 as he gave up the five runs. Elden Auker, Chief Hogsett and Tommy Bridges then combined to hold the Indians scoreless over the final five innings of the game. Hogsett walked away with the win while Tommy Bridges earned his first and only save of the season.

July 4, 1935 Tigers 10, Indians 4 (43-30)

Not even a doubleheader could slow down the Tigers bats as they won their seventh straight game. The Tigers ran up the score with ten runs on sixteen hits.

Goose Goslin was the MVP of the doubleheader as he had another great game. He went three for five with three RBis. Charlie Gehringer homered and relief pitcher Hogsett even contributed with a two run homer.

Schoolboy Rowe walked away with another win although the boxscore I have shows him only throwing 3 1/3 innings.

July 3, 1935 Tigers 11, Indians 7 (41-29)

The Tigers continued to roll as they won their fifth straight game (and eight of their last nine). Vic Sorrell couldn’t even get through the second inning as the Tribe jumped out in front 3-0. The Tigers stormed back as rookie lefthander Joe Sullivan righted the ship.

Backup catcher Ray Hayworth had a big game as he went four for five with five RBIs. Billy Rogell went two for four, but he scored four runs while Hank Greenberg went two for five with an RBI.

July 2, 1935 Tigers 8, Indians 3 (40-29)

July 1, 1935 Tigers 4, Indians 1 (39-29)

Elden Auker threw a gem as the Tigers walked away with their third straight win. He went the distance and only gave up one run on five hits.

Pete Fox had his third straight banner game. He went two for four, scored twice and stole two bases. Marv Owen went two for four with two RBIs and a triple.

June 30, 1935 Tigers 18, Browns 1 (37-29)

The eighteen runs that the Tigers scored matches their season best (which would be equalled one more time, but never exceeded) as they pounded the Browns in the front end of their doubleheader. The Tigers put eight runs on the board in the first inning and scored in five of the first six innings of the game.

Gee Walker had a huge game as he came a homer short of the cycle. He went four for five. Pete Fox homered, scored four runs and drove in six. Hank Greenberg doubled and tripled while driving in a pair of runs.

Lost in the offensive onslaught was a great outing by Schoolboy Rowe. While he was given quite a bit to work with, he gave up only one run on seven hits.

June 30, 1935 Tigers 11, Browns 6 (38-29)

The Tigers didn’t let up on the Browns in the second game of the doubleheader. The Tigers put up a run in the first, which was matched by the Browns in the bottom half of the inning. In the second, the Tigers scored four only to see the Browns shave the lead to a single run by putting three more up in the bottom half of the inning. The Tigers finally busted the game open in the seventh. With the scored tied at 6-6, the Tigers scored five runs to give them the win.

Pete Fox was just as hot as he was in the first game. He went five for six with four runs and four RBIs. One of his five hits was a homer, and he came within a triple of hitting for the cycle. Mickey Cochrane went four for four and scored two runs while Hank Greenberg and Charlie Gehringer both had a pair of hits and pair of RBIs.

General Crowder went the distance and gave up six runs on tweleve hits.

June 29, 1935 Browns 9, Tigers 3 (36-29)

Hank Greenberg hit two solo homers (for a total of three in the doubleheader) while Pete Fox and Ray Hayworth both had two hits and two runs.
