1950 Detroit Tigers Season Opener



April 18,1950

The Detroit Tigers opened their season on the road at Cleveland and held on to win a nail-biter 9-8. The Tigers chased Cleveland starter Bob Lemon in the 3rd inning and had what looked to be an insurmountable 7-0 lead. But the Indian's battled back and it wasn't until Tiger reliever Hal White got the last 2 outs with the bases loaded that Detroit could walk off with the victory.

The Detroit Tigers offense put up 5 runs on the scoreboard in the 3rd inning
and edged the Cleveland Indians at Municipal Stadium by the score of 9 to
8.

Cleveland never recovered after Detroit took the lead in the top of the 2nd
inning when they scored 2 runs on 1 hit. Cleveland threatened in the 9th but
Detroit was able to put down the rally.

Fred Hutchinson(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 and 1/3 innings
and allowing 6 runs. Hal White earned the save, his 1st. Bob Lemon(0-1)
suffered the loss. He gave up 7 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings of work.

'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Red Rolfe said after the game. 'Hutchinson did not have command
of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to
pitch!'
