In a tension-filled contest between the Detroit Tigers and the Philadelphia Athletics, pitcher Fritz Ostermueller was superb. The Detroit left-hander, who leads the AL in wins with 4, spearheaded his team's 2-1 win. The Tigers, now 13-5, have been sizzling early on.

Tommy Henrich, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in stolen bases with 3, had a direct impact on the outcome. Henrich contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Detroit up, 2-1.

"Fritz works, he fights, and he keeps a good attitude," said Tigers manager Steve O'Neill.
