1950 AL Game- Sept. 15th NY at Det.


September 15, 1950

In an exciting game at Briggs Stadium Tommy Byrne and the New York Yankees were able to hold off the Detroit Tigers and win 6-5. Art Houtteman of the Tigers was attempting to become the 1st 20 game winner in the AL but was chased early by the Yankees. Something wasn't quite right with Houtteman today. He gave up homeruns to Yogi Berra in the 1st, Johnny Mize in the 2nd and Hank Bauer in the 3rd, 6 runs total, before being pulled for a pinchhitter in the bottom of the 3rd. That was all the runs the Yankees would score in this game while Detroit battled back to a one run deficit by the top of the 6th. In the 7th inning, George Kell was thrown out at the plate by Yankee rightfielder Cliff Mapes and Byrne got Vic Wertz, AL rbi leader, to groundout with the tying run on base in the bottom of the 9th to seal the win.
New York moved within 4.5 games from Detroit with the win and hope to gain another game tomorrow as they send their rookie pitching sensation Whitey Ford to the hill against the Tigers Dizzy Trout.

Tommy Byrne tossed a complete game as the New York Yankees defeated the
Detroit Tigers by the score of 6 to 5 at Briggs Stadium.

New York set the tone of the game in the first inning plating an isolated run.
Detroit made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed
runs across.

The win was credited to Byrne(16-8) who went the whole way allowing 5 runs.
The losing pitcher was Art Houtteman(19-11). He was touched for 3 homeruns
in his 3 innings of work.

Casey Stengel was beaming after the game, 'Not only were we making good
contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'! I just love winning
these tight ones! It was just our day - no doubt about it!'
