Tigers Victors, 3-2, at Washington
In a tight tilt between the Detroit Tigers and the Washington Senators, Joe Hatten was the deciding factor. The Detroit left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Hatten, now 2-0, was the winner. In 8.2 innings, he gave up 12 hits, while striking out 2, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. With the loss, Washington drops to 11-11.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Chet Laabs to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Tigers on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Hatten. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."
