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. No MLB pitcher was subsequently to come so close to a perfect game until Don Larsen achieved the feat in the 1956 World Series.
