The Mariners' Jamie Moyer was on cruise control through 4 1/3 innings, until he had a hard time finding the plate with three walks & 3 doubles, including a 3-run double by Boog Powell that capped off a 6-run eruption during the top of the 5th -- the inning would be the difference. Bret Boone & Dan Wilson for the Mariners each homered.

Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig hit back-to-back HR's to tie the game during the top of the 6th, but the Yankees' pitching couldn't shut down the Cards' bats, that scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th & 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Terry Moore keeps truckin going 3-for-3, HR, 2 RBI's, while drawing a walk & scoring three times; as Stan "The Man" added a 3-run blast.
For Ruth, anytime I have played the 27' Yankees (the tournament + the 2 regular games), he has now hit a HR in each of his 5 games! He's targeting Ken Griffey, Jr.'s consecutive games streak of 8 games with at least a HR.

Despite his 6 walks, Red Faber looked like he wanted to be the second pitcher of the day to throw a no-no, during the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs & Smokey Burgess on first, the Pirates elected to pinch-hit for Vern Law with Dick Schofield, who would lace a RBI double into the gap, which also ended up being the difference in the ballgame.

Roger Hornsby & Hack Wilson was the core of their offense, with 5 hits combined of the Cubs' 7 hits. Hornsby's double in the bottom of the 8th, led to Hack Wilson's RBI triple. Wilson would score off of Rigg Stephenson's sac fly. The Reds' Bill Werber would contribute in a losing cause, 2-for-4 with a triple & run.

Tex Hughson pitched a solid game of 6 innings, 0 ER/1 Run, 3 hits allowed while striking out 4 Giants -- but it still wasn't enough; the Red Sox relievers gave up a 4-1 lead entering the top of the 8th. Hooks Wiltse helped his relief cause with a 2-run double in the 9th off Bob Klinger.

John McGraws' two Giant teams (04' & 12') are now combined (4-0) in this early season, as Joe McGinnity, despite his 5 walks issued, shut down Yankees bats, allowing only 3 hits. Mickey Mantle had two of those three hits (2 doubles) while smacking in the Yankees' only run. Giants' #8 hitter Frank Bowerman had a RBI single, making him 3-for-5 (.600) for the season; Bowerman in real-life batted .232 in 289 at-bats during 1904.

The Phillies hang on, despite walking 8 Athletics hitters as a staff -- including a messy 8th Inning alone by Gene Garber of 4 walks (one intentional to Eric Chavez). Bad news for Phillies' fans as Garry Maddox is injured sliding into second base.

Tom Glavine was all dialed in as the "Big Red Machine" was dealing with mechanic issues, pitching a 2-hit shutout with 6 K's & 5 walks. Andres Galarraga supplied breathing room with a Grand Slam in the bottom of the 3rd off of Fred Norman, it was Galarraga's 2nd HR of the season; Javy Lopez had a solo shot.

The Dodgers' Doug Rau was cruising through seven innings (in fact both pitchers were scoreless through seven) until running into problems in the 8th, beginning with a walk to Ruben Rivera, followed up by a single from lead-off man Quilvio Veras & Lopes bobbling a sure-out grounder from Tony Gwynn. Rick Rhoden, who the Dodgers are using in the bullpen due to lack of innings, couldn't stop the problems arising as Greg Vaughn's sac fly & Wally Joyner's 2-run single put the Padres in front, 3-0. Ron Cey's 2-run HR in the 8th & Lee Lacy's solo in the bottom of the ninth couldn't put the Dodgers on top. Veras (SD) went 3-for-5, 2B & ribbie.

It's good to be Kling! The Cubs' catcher Johnny Kling was responsible for all 3 RBI's in the Cubs 3-2 victory in Cleveland. The 29' Cubs & 06' Cubs are now combined 4-0, as the Tribe (54' & 95') early on, are a combined 0-4! Bobby Avila went 2-for-4 for the Indians, with a 2B, steal, RBI & run.

Popeye Harris continued poking the ball into the outfield with 3 more hits, he is now 7-for-10 (6 singles), 2B, RBI & 3 runs during the first two contests in St.Louis, can he continue the ride as the teams charter the buses back to Pittsburgh? We'll have to see.
Judy Johnson added 3 hits & Oscar Charleston added 3 RBI, as the Crawfords supplied offense from numerous players throughout the lineup. The Browns' only bright blip came from a 2-run HR by their only notable "star", shortstop Vern Stephens.

Both of the Yankees' hits came in the 4th, and even though this game didn't go into the possible no-hit realm, it's fair to point out all the 2-hit & 1-hit games that have already taken place during the first two games of the "Crazy 48's" Season -- including Bill Jame's (of the 14' Braves) no-no against the 1971 Athletics. The 1944 Browns alone will probably get no-hit a few times before this thing is done in a few years. Then again, maybe not, you never know the way the dice are going to roll.
Anyways, back to the highlights, Red Ruffing also pitched a great game, allowing only 5 hits & a run through 7 innings, he also had 5 K's & a walk. Spud Chandler blown the save & ended up with the loss, with Jimmie Foxx's 2-run triple in the bottom of the 8th. Eddie Rommell came in for the save for the Athletics.
