Athletics Trip Giants, 5-2
Cleveland beat Detroit on the strength of starting pitcher Leonard Tansell's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-2. Otha Murfin got credit for the save for Cleveland. It was his 5th of the year. The Athletics saw their win-loss record go to 19-25. At the same time, the Giants fell to 18-27.

Cleveland took advantage of an error in the top of the eighth inning. The game was tied, 2-2, when Loyal Wright hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Athletics in front, 3-2.

"We won," Tansell told assembled media after the game. "I guess that's all that really matters."
