Detroit Tiger Hank Greenberg has been the talk of MLB early this season, but his teammate Rudy York grabbed the headlines in Detroit's15-4 pasting of the St. Louis Browns today. York hit 3 home runs and drove in 7 as the Tiger batters lit up the scoreboard. Greenberg added 2 rbi to his AL leading total of 15 and after York's power display, the Tigers have given notice to the rest of the league that they are a force to be reckoned with.

Rudy York launched 3 homeruns and had 7 RBI at Sportsman's Park as the Detroit
Tigers, running on all cylinders, ripped the St. Louis Browns by a large 15
to 4 margin.
York really lit it up for Detroit. The St. Louis fans let him have it for
what he did to their boys. He belted a three-run homer in the 1st inning,
popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 2nd inning and cracked a two-run
shot in the 6th inning. Detroit provided plenty of action in the 1st inning
which saw them score 4 runs on 3 hits and the 2nd inning which saw them plate
6 runs on 5 hits. Detroit had 17 hits for the game and St. Louis had 14.
Elden Auker(2-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 innings and allowing 3
runs. Slick Coffman recorded his 1st save. Oral Hildebrand(0-1) suffered the
loss. He surrendered 6 hits and 2 walks in 1 and 1/3 innings.
'I had good swings today,' York said, 'Everything felt right'.
