George Kell had 4 hits and 4 RBI and Dick Donovan pitched a complete game at
Briggs Stadium as the Chicago White Sox, running on all cylinders, ripped the
Detroit Tigers by a large 15 to 4 margin.
Kell had a big day against Detroit. He doubled in the 3rd inning, bombed a
two-run dinger in the 6th inning, delivered a one-base hit bringing in a run
in the 7th inning and doubled resulting in a run in the 9th inning. Chicago
provided plenty of action in the 6th inning which saw them score 3 runs on 3
hits and the 9th inning tallying 3 runs. The Chicago offense was great,
scoring in 8 of the 9 innings.
The victory was credited to Donovan(4-0) who went the distance, allowing 4
runs. Billy Hoeft(1-2) was the losing pitcher. He got hit pretty hard,
allowing 10 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.
