May 4, 1935 Tigers 5, Red Sox 2 (6-9)

The Tigers won their fourth straight, and have inched their way back up towards the .500 mark. After three straight rain outs, the Tigers were happy to get back onto the field. Rookie Joe Sullivan did a nice job shutting down the Red Sox as he went the distance and gave up only two runs on eight hits and a walk.

Backup outfielder Gee Walker had a big day as he went two for four with two doubles and two RBIs. Three other Tigers had two hits off of four time 20 game winner Wes Ferrell.
