Joe Gordon and Eddie Robinson were involved in almost all of Cleveland's runs in a surprisingly close game. Bob Feller gave up plenty of hits but the Indians' offense overpowered the Browns. Gordon and Robinson started the second with back-to-back hits and scored together on a Ken Keltner single. In the following inning, the pair hit back-to-back homers. The Browns put together a three-run frame in the sixth but could not score again to even it back up.

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.

Boston 5, Philadelphia 3 [GAME 1 OF 2]
Stan Spence and Vern Stephens shined in their Boston debuts, hitting back-to-back home runs in the fifth. They were the only two Red Sox players with multiple hits, accounting for half of the team's total. Philadelphia managed to get the tying run to the plate in the ninth after a leadoff double by Eddie Joost, but three straight outs ended the Athletics' comeback hopes.

Philadelphia 15, Boston 2 [GAME 2 OF 2]
Philadelphia batted around the order in back-to-back frames as starter Denny Galehouse was left in the game as long as Boston could allow to avoid burning their pitchers. The Red Sox still eventually had to pull him in the fifth and leave the rest of the game to the bullpen. Eight Athletics players had multiple hits and all of them scored at least once. The only homer actually came from Boston, as Ted Williams hit his first of the year.

Wednesday, April 21

Philadelphia 11, Boston 6
A late rally in the ninth against a tired Joe Coleman made the score look closer than it was. Philadelphia could've won by even more if they had the same efficiency with runners in scoring position as they did in their last game, but instead they left 18 men on base. Barney McCosky started a perfect 6-for-6 until striking out for the final out in the top of the ninth. Buddy Rosar went 5-for-6 as the other Athletic to be hitting at least .600 in the series against Boston.

Washington 10, New York 9
Up 6-0 in the second inning, it appeared that the Yankees were once again on their way to a blowout victory. The Senators started to bring the deficit down in the middle innings, but entering the final frame still trailed by four. Going for a win in his Yankees debut, Ed Lopat gave up three straight singles to start the inning before he was pulled for Joe Page. Page allowed two of the next three men to reach base before the inning turned into a disaster. An error by Bill Johnson turned what could've been a game-ending double play into a one-run lead with two outs still to go. Then Page unleashed a wild pitch to allow the tying run to score. The following batter, Gil Coan, hit a walk-off RBI single to finish off the comeback. Leon Culberson was 4-for-5 for Washington and scored four different times in the game.

Mark Christman's solo homer in the 4th was the only run of the game as both teams bats fell silent for the most part. There were no other extra base hits in the game and neither team managed to get any hit with a runner in scoring position. Mickey Haefner earned the complete game shutout by holding the Yankees to just five hits, after they had 35 in the first two games of the series, but did walk five batters, as well.

First Meeting in 1948
April 19

Monday, April 19

Pittsburgh 7, Cincinnati 3
Two homers in the 9th broke a tie game in favor of the visitors. A back-and-forth game was decisively decided when Monty Basgall led off the final frame with a solo shot and then Ralph Kiner sealed the deal with a three-run homer. Kiner had been 0-for-4 until this breakthrough to pick up right where he left off in 1947. Basgall ended the game with three hits and three total RBIs in his major league debut.
