Joe Rogan grinded through eight innings, allowing seven hits and six walks, but only two runs, as Philadelphia held off a late Detroit rally and held on for a 3-2 win, in the final game of the series.

Buck Leonard clubbed his seventh home run of the year. All American League teams have an off day tomorrow, then the Athletics head back to Shibe Park, for a long home stand, beginning with the St. Louis Browns.
