RED HOT TIGERS KEEP ON WINNING
Marberry Completes 3rd Straight Start

BOSTON, June 13 (AP) - Firpo Marberry threw a complete game for the third consecutive start--all wins--and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-1 at Fenway Park.  It was fifth consecutive win for the Tigers and the team's 23rd victory in its last 25 games.  Marberry has won his last three decisions. 

Detroit jumped on Red Sox starter Johhny Welch for a pair of runs in the top of the second inning.  Hank Greenberg lined a one-out single to left field and advanced to third when Gee Walker slashed a base hit to right.  Welch walked Marv Owen on a 3-2 pitch, loading the bases, and then Marberry helped himself by lacing a two-run double int the right-center field gap, scoring Greenberg and Walker.  Welch retired Pete Fox on a pop fly to short and Mickey Cochrane on a line out to first, but the Tigers led 2-0.

Detroit doubled its lead in the third.  Charlie Gehringer started the rally with a one-out single and, after Billy Rogell popped up, Greenberg's base hit put runners on first and second.  Walker then drove home both runners with a two-bagger to right, giving the Tigers a 4-0 advantage.

Boston got a run back in the fifth when Roy Johnson drove a Marberry offering over the left field wall for his first home run of the year but the Red Sox never got any closer. 

During the 23-2 stretch, the Tigers have outscored their opponents 204-79.
