Charlie Gehringer (pictured) hit 2 doubles and had 4 RBI and Tommy Bridges completed the game without help from the bullpen as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox by the score of 6 to 3 at Fenway Park. Detroit claimed the early lead in the first inning scoring 3 runners on 2 hits. The key at-bat was by Gehringer who deflated the spirits of the hometown crowd when he doubled bringing in two baserunners. Boston could do no damage in the bottom of the 9th. Bridges(6-5) was the winner allowing 3 runs for the game. Gordon Rhodes(4-7) took the loss. He pitched 6 innings and surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks.

June 11th, 1934 - How're They Doin? - George Grantham


Grantham's in his last year in baseball after a 13 year NL career. After playing in Chicago, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, he'll see very limited playing time with the Giants. Although he slumped last year, he's hit significantly better than average every year in the league since he was a rookie, with his best year in 1929. He'll see a little more action this year, but not much.
