Excelsiors Lose Versus Montreal, 6-2

The Tigers got a big at-bat from center fielder Buster Brown. For the game, Brown went 3-5 with a triple and a double. In the top of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 32nd double of the season gave Montreal a 1-0 lead.

"Winning never gets old," said Brown.
