Notable events

On August 5 against the Washington Senators, pitcher Tommy Bridges came within one out of a perfect game, retiring the first 26 batters before the Senators' Dave Harris hit a pinch-hit single. Bridges retired the 28th batter, Sam Rice and the Tigers won 13–0.Foxsports; [https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/gallery/perfect-games-lost-on-27th-batter-or-later-heartbreaking-brushes-with-history-040313 ‘Perfect Games Lost on 27th Batter or Later’] No MLB pitcher was subsequently to come so close to a perfect game until Don Larsen achieved the feat in the 1956 World Series.
