Spence goes 3-for-3 in Tigers Win
Though the conditions were not ideal, the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

The Detroit Tigers topped the Philadelphia Athletics, 8-4, at Briggs Stadium. Detroit center fielder Stan Spence was a spark plug for the offense. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Hal Gregg got the win, improving to 2-4. He held the Athletics to 1 run on 5 hits over 7.2 innings, while striking out 2 and walking 4.

Detroit took the lead, 7-1, on Eddie Robinson's 5th home run of the season. The grand slam home run came off Philadelphia pitcher Tex Hughson in the bottom of the seventh.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Spence.

With the win, Detroit lifts its record to 19-11.
