The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Navin Field, knocking off the Washington Senators, 6-5. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Walter Johnson, who played a pivotal role in the win.

Johnson had no bigger at-bat than in the bottom of the fourth when the fan favorite hit a bases-clearing double. The double gave Detroit the lead, 5-1. It was his 1st double of the season.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Johnson told the Detroit Herald. "It's as simple as that."
