Yankees Get Past Washington, 2-1
The New York Yankees received a superlative performance from starting pitcher Mickey Haefner, allowing them to bump off the Washington Senators, 2-1. In 9 innings, Haefner surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. The loss drops Washington to 6-7.

New York needed the clutch hitting of Ernie Lombardi to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Yankees on top, 2-1. For the game, Lombardi had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Haefner. "But I like how we're playing right now."
