Detroit Tigers set a major league record by scoring 36 runs in a doubleheader

On August 14, 1937,  At Navin Field, the Detroit Tigers sweep a doubleheader against the visiting St Louis Browns, 16-1 and 20-7. The thirty-six Detroit runs, including the eight scored by Pete Fox, establish a new American League record for tallies in a twin bill, which will not be broken until the Rangers score 39 times in two games on August 23, 2007.
