With Earl Wilson leading the way with 22 wins, and 4 Tigers slugging 20 or more Home Runs the Tigers find themselves in the thick of a 5-team race for the AL pennant. The Tigers would stay in the race until the final day of the season with a 91-71 record, but would come up 1 game short as the Boston Red Sox claimed the Pennant.
