July 27, 1935 Tigers 6, Indians 2 (56-35)

The Tigers continued to roll and pad their lead over the Yankees as Tommy Bridges won his 14th game of the season. He gave up only two runs on nine hits, but those two runs were scored in the bottom of the ninth when the game was well out of reach.

Hank Greenberg doubled twice, drove in two runs and scored once. Charlie Gehringer and Goose Goslin both had multihit games.

The win was the Tigers fourth straight and with the Yankees losing, the Tigers now had a 2 1/2 game lead in the American League.
