September 8, 1935 Senators 4, Tigers 3 (85-45)

The Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 lead with single runs in the first, third and fifth innings. Roxie Lawson, the recent pickup by the Tigers who had thrown two shutouts in his first two starts, started the game on fire. Through six, he had another shutout in the works but the Senators finally got to him with two runs in the seventh. In the bottom of the ninth, he fell apart and gave up the winning run on a bases loaded walk.

Charlie Gehringer was was three for four with a run and Hank Greenberg was two for four with an RBI.
