On April 20, 1946, The St. Louis Browns had their home opner at Sportsman's Park hosting the Chicago White Sox. St. Louis jumped ahead early, thanks to a solo home run by Joe Medwick in the second inning and a pair of hits that brought in another run. The Browns maintained their momentum in the third, pushing across another run to extend their lead to 3-0.
However, Chicago battled back. Dom DiMaggio's clutch single in the fourth inning brought home two runs, narrowing the gap. The real turning point came in the seventh, when the White Sox loaded the bases and Lonny Frey's walk tied the game. Jimmy Brown followed with a critical two-run single, putting Chicago ahead for the first time. An insurance run in the ninth proved vital as the Browns rallied in their last at-bat, scoring twice, but ultimately fell short. The White Sox, powered by DiMaggio and Brown, held on to secure a hard-fought 6-5 victory.
In a game marked by timely hitting and late-inning drama, the Chicago White Sox triumphed over the St. Louis Browns with a final score of 6-5.
