St. Louis 5, Pittsburgh 2
In his season debut, Joe Garagiola hit a two-run homer in the fifth to put St. Louis in the lead and then added a third RBI with a sacrifice fly the following inning. That alone was enough to beat Pittsburgh, who could only score two runs, both driven in by Ralph Kiner. The Cardinals did lose Whitey Kurowski to an injury and will expect to be without him for some time.

Tuesday, April 27

New York 19, Philadelphia 16
There were lead changes aplenty in one may end up being the highest scoring game of the year by season's end. No lead was safe after eleven extra-base hits, including six homers, and seven errors combined were given up by the two teams. It was Dave Koslo, the man who was supposed to start on Monday and who was the sixth of seven relievers for the Giants in this game, who got the win after the Giants took the lead in the eighth. Willard Marshall was a perfect 5-for-5 with three home runs and five RBIs. Johnny Mize also had a pair of homers and easily surpassed his teammate with eight RBIs. The Phillies spread out their success, with eight different players driving in at least one run, though it wasn't enough.

Bill Voiselle held Brooklyn to just one run through seven innings while driving in two himself with a pair of RBI singles. Three hits for the Dodgers in the eighth led to two more runs, ending Voiselle's game and putting Brooklyn within two runs for the final frame. Ernie White allowed the first two batters to reach base but then recorded three straight outs to finish off a scoreless relief appearance.

Boston 6, Brooklyn 5
Preacher Roe's first appearance as a Dodger started out horribly as he allowed four runs on two walks, three hits, and two wild pitches in just the first inning. After that, he was nearly perfect for the next six innings, and Brooklyn helped him out with a four-run innings of their own in the sixth followed by one more in the seventh to take the lead. But Boston was not yet done after an Al Dark RBI double to tie the game and an error allowing him to score later in the inning put the Braves back ahead by one. Bobby Hogue got the win for pitching the eighth before Boston took the lead and then finished off the ninth to hold off the comeback attempt from the Dodgers. Although they lost, Pee Wee Reese broke out of his early season slump with three hits, including an RBI triple.

American League Update: April 28th

American League Update

April 28, 1948

Even without Ted Williams in the lineup, Boston easily swept Washington in a two-game series with a combined score of 11-1. Moving out to left field to replace Williams was newly acquired Stan Spence, who went 4-for-7 with a double and two walks. With the two wins, the Red Sox are back out of the basement in the American League.
