August 19, 1935 Yankees 7, Tigers 5 (70-40)

The Yankees jumped all over starter Vic Sorrell and sent him packing in the third inning. By the end of three innings, the Yankees had a 4-0 lead. The Tigers staged a comeback in the fourth with three runs, but they could never surpass the Yanks, who hit the ball well all game long.

Charlie Gehringer had two hits and two RBIs and Hank Greenberg doubled twice.
