The Tigers held the Robins to nine runs in the four games.
Rocky Colavito got the Tigers off to a rousing start in the Tiger Stadium opener with a three-run homer off Burleigh Grimes. He doubled in another run in the third inning and hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Frank Lary allowed two runs on five hits in eight innings for the win.
Jim Bunning and Dazzy Vance lived up to their Hall of Fame resumes in Game Two. Dick Brown's fifth inning homer off Vance was the only tally of the game. Bunning, pitching on short rest, went seven innings, allowing three hits. Terry Fox worked the final two innings, allowing one single but getting a double play to face the minimum.
The series shifted to 1924 and Ebbets Field for Game Three. Detroit scored the first three runs in the fourth inning, with Mike Roarke doubling in two of them. Dick McAuliffe, who entered the game when Steve Boros was injured, drove in five runs on two homers and a single, and Norm Cash had four RBIs on a homer and double.
Brooklyn got its only lead of the series on Jack Fournier's three-run homer in the sixth inning of Game Four.But the Tigers got three of their own in the eighth, with RBIs by pinch-hitter Charlie Maxwell, Al Kaline and Cash. Detroit relievers Hank Aguirre, Gerry Staley and Fox faced just nine hitters over the final three innings, with Aguirre credited with the win.
