Tuesday, April 20

Detroit 7, Chicago 0

Hal Newhouser was nearly perfect on Opening Day, allowing just three singles in an otherwise flawless game. Chicago was helpless against him and seemingly gave up after falling in a 7-0 hole by the fourth inning. There were no more runs scored after that point, when Dick Wakefield and hit Vic Wertz hit back-to-back homers.

Dizzy Trout nearly matched Hal Newhouser's feat from the day before, holding the White Sox to just four singles and giving up two walks. Meanwhile, the offense was even more explosive, scoring ten runs between the third and fifth innings. This included a George Kell grand slam and then a two-RBI single in his next at bat. The Tigers committed three errors, including two by Trout himself, but pulled off another shutout.

Chicago 7, Detroit 4
Chicago finally got into the run column in the final game of the series and also claimed their first victory of the season. They still do not have an extra-base hit in 1948, but eleven singles, four walks, three errors, a passed ball, and a wild pitch led to seven runs. Howie Judson also limited the Tigers to six hits in eight innings on the mound.
