Tommy Henrich smacked 2 homeruns at Yankee Stadium where the blistering-hot
New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Athletics 10 to 3.
 
Henrich enjoyed a big day at the plate.  He smashed a two-run homer in the 1st
inning and emptied the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 2nd inning.
New York banged out 7 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Tommy Byrne(2-0) got the win allowing 3 runs in 6 innings. Joe Page earned his
1st save.  The losing pitcher was Phil Marchildon(0-2).  He served up 3
gopher balls in 1 and 2/3 innings.  
 
New York extended their winning streak to 7 games. 'It seems we can't lose
these days', Casey Stengel volunteered after the game.  Then after a moment
to reflect he lamented, 'Oh great! Now I've gone and jinxed us!'

First baseman Mickey Vernon had 4 hits and 5 RBI and Bob Lemon held St. Louis
to 3 hits as the Cleveland Indians clobbered the outmatched St. Louis Browns,
19 to 4.
 
Vernon provided much of the offense.  He doubled in the 2nd inning, laced a
base-knock which was good for two runs in the 4th inning, doubled which
scored a run in the 5th inning and doubled which plated a run in the 7th
inning.  Cleveland kept the scorekeepers busy in the 2nd inning when they had
5 runs on 6 hits and the 4th inning with 5 runs on 6 hits.  Cleveland
dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.  
 
The win went to Lemon(2-0) who allowed 4 runs in the game. Red Embree(1-1) was
given the loss.

1949 NL Game: Bos.@ NY

April 223, 1949

In a great pitching duel today in New York, Boston Brave pitcher Warren Spahn threw a 5 hit shutout against the Giants. New York pitcher Monte Kennedy had an outstanding game himself, but came out on the short end of the 1-0 final score. The game ended with the Giant's Sid Gordon getting thrown out at the plate trying to score the tying run in the bottom of the 9th. The Braves got the game's only run in the 1st inning and Spahn came away with his 2nd Win of the season. Boston is off to a good start this year and leads the NL with a 4-1 record.

Warren Spahn blanked New York in a very well-pitched complete game as the
Boston Braves defeated the New York Giants by a score of 1 to 0 at Polo
Grounds.
 
Spahn(2-0) gave Boston a solid outing.  He allowed only 5 hits and 2 walks in
9 innings dropping his ERA from 1.00 to 0.50.  New York made it exciting in
the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.  
 
Monte Kennedy(0-1) was the loser.  He pitched 8 innings giving up 4 hits and 4
walks. 'Some losses are harder to take than others' Leo Durocher lamented
after the game.  'This was one of them.'

1949 Replay Resumed

  My 1949 Strat-O-Matic As Played Replay has resumed after the completion of my 1991 replay.

April 22, 1949

  The slate of games scheduled for today included the Home Opener for the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland won their first 3 games on the road to start the season and came home on top of the AL as the only undefeated team in the league.
  My Detroit Tigers came into Cleveland with a 2-1 record and proceeded to spoil the Indian's Home Opener by defeating them 10-7. Walks and errors led to both starters getting chased early in the game. Detroit put 6 runs on the scoreboard in the 2nd inning with just 3 hits and Cleveland came back with 5 runs in the 3rd on 3 hits. The Tiger's George Kell went 3 for 5 and had 3 RBI. Dizzy Trout, in relief, pitched 4 scoreless innings for the Win. *of note*: 42 year old Satchel Paige threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings for the Indians.
