Nats were back in action on Tuesday, May 13, after a couple days off. Must have been rain, because the Tigers were still in town, still with Harry Heilemann and Ty Cobb. Plus Fred Haney, manager of the 1957 World Series champion Milwaukee Braves.
George Mogridge started for the Nats, dueling Bert Cole through the 6th, when Goose Goslin tripled, driving in Sam Rice, and Mule Shirley singled in Goslin. The Tigers got the runs right back as Topper Rigney singled and got to 2nd on Rice's sixth (!) error, Haney pinch-hit for Bert Cole, and drove in Rigney. Haney reached second on a base hit and scored on John Kerr's single,
The Nats took the lead again in the 7th on a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and a double. Maybe it was not good to replace Cole. Then Bucky Harris's triple drove in Mogridge -- pitchers could hit some back before the DH -- and Neimo Leibold. Mogridge drove in another run on a double in the 8th, and the Nats won it 6 - 3.
Nats are now 11 - 12, four games behind the Yankees, and a game behind Detroit.
