The Tigers came from behind to gain an 8-7 victory in the first game of a doubleheader before losing the second game to the Indians, 7-2. In the opener, Jack Pierce homered for the Tigers with a man on base in the second inning, but the Indians tied the score in the third and erupted for five runs in the fourth, three crossing the plate on a homer by Jack Brohamer. The Tigers began their comeback with a circuit clout by Leon Roberts in the fifth and pulled even in the sixth with a two-run single by Pierce and two-run double by Tom Veryzer. Then in the eighth, Pierce doubled and scored the winning run on a triple by Aurelio Rodriguez.
