Harry 'the Giant Killer' Covelski, who had lost 3 of the last 4 games, brought to the mound is excellent 22-8 record. Previous to the short term losing streak Harry had reeled off 6 straight wins and 10 out of 11.
For the Sox 20 game winner Jim 'Death Valley' Scott entered the contest with 9 losses while earning 2 saves.
The top of the Tiger line up had just enough jump to it to ensure that Detroit would take the series two games to one.
