Detroit was unable to climb back into it after Philadelphia-AL went ahead for good in the 7th inning when they scored 2 runs on 2 hits. This was a game of many highs and lows for the home town fans, as the lead kept changing - 6 times in all. The win was credited to Lefty Leifield(4-2) who went 6 and 1/3 innings allowing 8 runs. O'Brien earned the save, his 3rd. The loss was charged to Red Ames(1-5) in relief. He was pinned with the loss despite not allowing an earned run in his 2 innings of work.
