Lou Gehrig, who led the NL in doubles with 52 last year, chipped in a 2-run single for Philadelphia in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 3 runs batted in.
"We didn't put up much resistance," said losing manager Gil Glynn.

In the bottom of the fifth, Detroit third baseman Russ Wrightstone had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and two out, Wrightstone stroked a run-scoring single to right. It made the score 3-1, Detroit. For the game, he was 2-3 with 2 singles.
"We're one game closer to our goal," Detroit manager Gil Glynn said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

Simmons came through for Philadelphia with a run-scoring single in the top of the third. He hit a first pitch fastball to left-center field, staking his team to a 2-1 lead.

Making an impact for Detroit was third baseman Russ Wrightstone. He drilled a 2-run double off Jesse Petty in the top of the fourth. For the game, Wrightstone went 1-4 with a double, while adding 2 RBIs and scoring once.
Wrightstone said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
