Notes & reviews

Mike Guerra faked a throw to 2B when Jimmy Bloodworth ran; Hank Greenberg caught in rundown
Game called for rain and darkness after the Senators scored three runs in the top of the 8th, including a two-run HR by Mickey Vernon; the Tigers had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the 8th when the game was stopped; game reverted to end of 7th inning.
