In the American League, the Yankees took to the field with vengence and swept both ends of a twinbill from the Washington Nationals, 3 to 1 in the opener and smashing them 15 to 4 in the nightcap. Louisiana Lightning, Ron Guidry was outstanding in the first game, holding the Nats in check on a 7-hitter. Joe Gordon was the Yanks offensive leader with a home run and two hits. Lefthander Frank Viola deserved better for the Capitol City boys surrending only 3 runs and 6 hits and striking out 10. In the second game, New York jumped all over Camilo Pascual for 7 runs in the first inning and never looked back. Bill Dickey and Earl Combs got 3 hits each with Dickey and Graig Nettles the rbi leaders with 3 each. Babe Ruth and Nettles smashed home runs. Spud Chandler breezed along for the victory, scattering 9 hits, striking out 7 and walking 4 in a complete game. The teams split the four game series.

In Detroit, the Tigers finally got their initial win of the season, crushing Baltimore 12 to 1 behind the steady slants of Schoolboy Rowe, who finessed his way passed the Orioles, giving up only 8 hits. Hitting-wise it was Sam Crawford, 3 hits and 5 rbi's, Harry Heilmann, 3 hits, 3 rbi's and a homer and Ty Cobb with 3 hits. Detroit shellshocked the Birds with 16 hits. Urban Shocker took the loss. Baltimore had taken the first two games of the series.

At Fenway, it was Rube Waddell and Jimmy Foxx leading the A's to a 5 to 3 late inning win over Pedro Martinez and the Red Sox. Foxx's two run ninth inning home decided the game. Waddell in a fine outing, held the Bosox to 8 hits with 9 k's and only 1 walk. Pedro allowed 7 hits with 6 strikeouts and 1 base on balls. He just faltered in the 8th and 9th innings. He was up 2-1 after 7 innings. Foxx and Mickey Cochrane both slugged 3 hits off of him. This gave Philadelphia the series, two games to one.

In Chicago, the Indians almost wasted 15 hits, but finally came away with a 5 to 4 victory over the White Sox. Earl Averill and Al "Flip" Rosen paced Cleveland with 4 hits each. Eddie Collins had 4 hits for the second time in 3 games for the Sox. Reliever Ray Narleski pitched 2 shutout innings and received credit for the win, while Billy Pierce gave up 11 hits, but only 4 runs. It was tied at 4-4 when he exited. He walked none and struckout 3. Bobby Thigpen took the loss, yielding a triple to Averill and the game-winning single to Rosen in the ninth. The Tribe took the series 2 games to one.

Over in the National League in Philadelphia, the Phils and Dodgers split a pair, with the Phillies taking the first game 6 to 4 as Lefty Steve Carlton with help of Jim Konstanty beat Don Drysdale. Lefty O'Doul had 3 hits and 2 doubles to kayo Brooklyn. It was Philadelphia's first win of the season. Don Sutton bested Robin Roberts in the second game 7 to 4. Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges each chipped in 3 hits with Hodges sealing the win with a 2 run 9th inning homer, his second of the year. Brooklyn took 3 out of 4 in the series.

It was an old-fashioned pitcher's duel in Atlanta's County Stadium with the Braves premier righthander, Greg Maddux outpitching Iron Man McGinnity 3 to 1. The Giants only got 5 hits off of him. The game was decided in the 8th when Hank Aaron and Bob Horner each singled in the go ahead runs. McGinnity was touched for 8 hits by Atlanta. The Braves captured the series 2 games to one.

The Cubbies missed a great chance to take the series from the homestanding Cardinals by wasting most of their 14 hit output. St. Louis' Mort Cooper was tough in the clutch and came away with a 4-3 triumph. In 7 innings he gave up 10 singles and one double, but only two runs, while walking only one batter. John Worrell pitched the last two innings and got a save. Chicago was hurt by two unearned runs. Charlie Root pitched a fine game, but came out the loser. He only gave up 4 hits and 1 earned run in 6 innings. Chick Hafey had 3 hits and 3 rbi's for the Redbird cause. Ron Santo was the Bruins offensive leader also with 3 hits.

Sloppy defense also cost the Pirates the game and the series in Cincinnati . They committed 3 errors and allowed 2 unearned runs in a 4-2 loss. The Reds' Pete Donahue stopped Pittsburgh on just 5 hits. He only had 1 strikeout, but issued no bases on balls. Sam Leever, the losing pitcher, deserved a better fate as he only gave up 7 hits and 4 runs, only 2 earned in 7 innings.
