Detroit took on second place Chicago at Crowder Memorial Stadium.
The Tigers dropped the first game of the series to the Sox by a 5-2 score giving up three runs in the ninth inning, two of them coming on a homerun by Charlie Carroll, off Bobby James.
The second game of the series ended with a much better result for the home team.
Although outhit 14-13 by Chicago, the Tigers scored two more runs to take a 10-8 slug fest win.
Utility infielder John Czkrowski went three for four, including a RBI infield single in the first inning, a two run homerun in the third, and a run scoring single in the three run fourth inning, to drive in four of the eight Tiger runs to make Jimmy Allietta the winning pitcher despite only going 6.2 innings giving up seven runs on eleven hits walking six and striking out three.
The bullpen trio of Al Enright (0.1 inning), Bobby James (one inning), and closer Bert Tenace (one inning one run one hits) to pick up save number 11.
In the finale both starting pitchers were in top form and neither team scored through the fist eight innings.
In the top of the ninth Chicago threatened with two outs after starting pitcher Lew Stewart walked Bob Phelps and Phelps stole second base.
Eighteen year old rookie Larry Brown made his major league debut in relief. Brown showing some nerves walked the first batter Marty Kellner who stole second putting runners on first and third.
A tough spot for the rookie but Brown induced a ground out to second by Tim Nordhagen to escape at scoring.
The Tigers turned that effort by the rookie into a win in the bottom of the ninth. Chicago starter Jim Kauffman also tired a bit and walked Al McNulty. McNulty went to second on a wild pitch.
That brought Kauffman's efforts to an end and Mort Pignatano took over for him.
Ray Ulrich, the first batter Pignatano, lined out hard to second baseman Nordhagen. The second batter, Patrick Javier, did a little better with a single over Nordhagen's head into right field driving in McNulty with the only run of the game...
Final 1-0 Detroit.
The Tigers go on the road now and travel to Seattle for a three game series.
