Wagner's Wild Toss Costs Red Sox in Detroit
In Detroit on June 5 the Red Sox led most of the game but a misplayed grounder by Wagner in the ninth inning allowed Schmidt to circle the bases for the tying run. Detroit then pushed ahead and won 8 to 7 as McIntyre's sharp triple clinched the victory. The Tigers, aided by Winter after a cold start, held Boston to one hit in early innings while Wagner and Cravath sparked runs for Boston earlier, but the late mishap sealed the fate. Gessler sat out with a shoulder sprain and Laporte recovered from a throwing hand cut as McGuire wired for McHale and Donahue to join Cleveland-bound squadmates.
