On September 20, 1934, the New York Yankees faced off against the Detroit Tigers at Navin Field in Detroit. With the season nearing its end, both teams had different trajectories. The Yankees, who were out of pennant contention, still had star power with players like Lou Gehrig, while the Tigers were fighting for the American League pennant, led by Hank Greenberg and Charlie Gehringer. Starting on the mound for the Yankees was Johnny Broaca, while Detroit's Fred Marberry took the ball for the Tigers. As Detroit aimed to maintain their lead in the standings, this game carried significant weight for their postseason ambitions.

The game saw an explosive start, with the Yankees jumping ahead early, scoring two runs in the first and adding a six-run third inning, capitalizing on a mix of hits and Tigers errors. Detroit struggled to keep pace despite a late surge, including Goose Goslin’s two-run homer in the seventh inning. Key Yankees hitters like George Selkirk and Red Rolfe kept the pressure on Detroit’s pitching staff, who couldn’t contain New York's offense. While Broaca wasn't flawless on the mound, he managed to limit the damage from a Tigers lineup that had multiple scoring chances throughout the game.

New York emerged victorious with an 11-7 win, thanks to consistent hitting and capitalizing on Detroit’s defensive mistakes. While the Tigers would go on to win the American League pennant, this loss was a stumble in their otherwise successful campaign. The Yankees, meanwhile, ended their season on a high note with individual performances from players like Selkirk and Rolfe, although they would finish far from the top of the standings. Hank Greenberg and Goose Goslin, both critical to Detroit’s pennant run, would continue to be key players in the Tigers' push to the World Series.
