On the last day of the season in the team’s 10-2 victory at Tampa Bay, the Yankees break a franchise record, thanks to Alex Rodriguez’s three-run blast in the ten-run sixth inning, by hitting their 243rd homer of the season. In the same frame, A-Rod goes deep again, this time with the bases loaded, to extend the club’s mark, and the third baseman sets a new American League record, collecting seven RBI’s in one inning.

In a 4 – 3, 10-inning loss to the Browns, Tiger CF Gee Walker is picked off base twice in the same frame, earning him a 10-day suspension for his ineptitude. After Hank Greenberg singles, Walker reaches base on a error, but then gets caught off base when C Rollie Hemsley fires to first base. Greenberg attempts to draw a throw by running to third base and is thrown out, with Walker taking second. Moments later, with Walker standing six feet off the bag “as brave as a boy on a burning deck” (writer Charles P. Ward’s description), pitcher Jack Knott’s throw to SS Alan Strange nabs him. Mickey Cochrane is so furious he suspends Walker and fines him $20 – the 6th time this season that he has earned a $20 fine. Gee’s next appearance won’t come until July 16 when he pinch-hits for Cochrane.
