Not a lot of time today.

Boxscore is HERE. Play-by-play is HERE.

Game Four of the 1934 World Series was at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis on October 6. Neither of the Dean brothers pitched for the Cards, so the Tigers won and they won big 10-4.

Elden Auker got the start and went the distance for Detroit, but it wasn't easy. He gave up ten hits, walked four, and struck out one.

Billy Rogell and Hank Greenberg were the hitting stars for the Tigers. Rogell drove in four runs and Greenberg knocked in three.

The Tigers had a 5-4 lead going into the top of the eighth inning. Then, Rogell singled in a pair followed by a run scoring double by Greenberg. An RBI single by Marv Owen and a steal of home by Greenberg ended the scoring in the inning.

Auker got the final six outs and the Series was tied two games apiece.
