Tigers Make Athletics 6-5 Losers
A 3-RBI performance from Art Fletcher, who finished 5th in the AL in batting average with .342 in 1911, helped the Detroit Tigers beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 6-5. The winning pitcher was Ralph Comstock. He tossed 142 pitches over 8.1 innings, allowing 5 runs on 5 hits. Hank Gehring got the save, his 12th in 13 chances.

Fletcher had a consequential at-bat in the top of the fifth for the Tigers. Coming up with the bases loaded and Detroit trailing 2-1, he hit a bases-clearing double.

"If it's down the middle," said Fletcher, "you might as well hit it."

Detroit is now riding a 3-game win streak.
