Chico Fernandez cracked 2 homeruns and Hank Aguirre went the distance at D.C.
Stadium as the Detroit Tigers belted the Washington Senators by the count of
15 to 1. Fernandez drove in 8 runs in the game.
 
Fernandez was a one-man wrecking crew.  He clubbed a three-run home run in the
3rd inning, cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 7th inning and
doubled scoring a run in the 9th inning.  Detroit kept the scorekeepers busy
in the 7th inning which saw them plate 6 runs on 3 hits.  Detroit finished
with 12 hits in the victory.  
 
The winning pitcher was Aguirre(4-1) who allowed 1 run for the game. Tom
Cheney(3-1) absorbed the loss.
