Garms Goes 5-for-6 Against Detroit
Who needs batting practice? Apparently not Boston Red Sox left fielder Debs Garms, who missed the team's pre-game session at Fenway Park II but peppered the Detroit Tigers for 5 hits come game time. The Red Sox went on to take the 17-3 win.

\n"I was late to the park and I wasn't sure coach was even going to keep me in the lineup," he told the press after the game. "Maybe I should skip BP more often."

\nDebs Garms flied out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

Thus far in 1940 Garms is hitting .292 with 2 home runs, 46 RBIs, 66 runs scored and has compiled a .335 OBP.
