In a very exciting game, the Detroit Tigers were able to come from behind twice in the late innings before defeating the Cincinnati Reds in extra innings 6-5. Paul Derringer and the Reds had a 4-1 lead over the Tigers heading into the bottom of the 8th inning. Detroit started a rally with 2 outs that culminated in Hank Greenberg's 3 run homer, tying the game at 4. Cincinnati took the lead again in the top of the 9th with a single run but had another run cut down at the plate. Detroit ss Billy Rogell led off the bottom of the 9th and hit a solo shot, tying the game up again and sending it into extra innings. Cincinnati was held scoreless in the top of the 10th before the dramatic ending to the contest in the bottom of the inning. Derringer was still pitching for the Reds and got the first 2 outs before Greenberg came to the plate with the bases empty. After a conference on the mound, Cincinnati decided to walk Hank intentionally and face Rudy York who had only 1 hit thru the first 4 games of the series. The strategy backfired. York took Derringer deep to center field and Greenberg tried scoring from 1st. There was a close play at the plate but Greenberg slid in under the tag giving the Tigers a 6-5 victory. Detroit now leads in the series 3 games to 1.
