| August 1, 1934 The Detroit Tigers pulled to within 1 game of the AL leading New York Yankees today by defeating the Cleveland Indians 9-4. Hank Greenberg (pictured) had a big day at the plate for the Tigers hitting 2 hr's and driving in 7. It was a close game, 4-3 Detroit, when Greenberg came up in the 8th inning and hit his 2nd 3-run homer of the game, a mammoth blast to deep center field. Combined with New York's 7-2 loss to Boston today, the victory allowed the Tigers to inch closer to the top spot in the AL.  |

Hank Greenberg smacked 2 homeruns and had 7 RBI as the Detroit Tigers topped
the Cleveland Indians by a score of 9 to 4 at League Park.
Greenberg was unconscious all day. The Cleveland fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He lofted
a three-run bomb in the 1st inning, doubled which scored a run in the 3rd
inning and lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 23rd of the season) in the 8th
inning. Detroit had 13 hits for the game and Cleveland had 7.
Vic Sorrell(7-5) went 8 innings allowing 4 runs for the victory. The losing
pitcher was Willis Hudlin(11-3). He allowed 4 runs and 7 hits in 7 innings.
The Detroit ballclub's record now stands at 60-38. With the loss, Cleveland
has a record of 5-5 lately, 53-44 overall.
