Yankees History

April 27, 1947 at Yankee Stadium

Senators 1, Yankees 0  (7-4)

For the second time in three games, the Yankees were shutout and lost the game 1-0.  A great game by Spud Chandler went to waste in which he gave up only one run on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts.

The Yankees did manage eight hits but they couldn’t get a baserunner across.  Bobby Brown had three hits including two doubles while Aaron Robinson had two singles.

Red Sox 1, Yankees 0  (6-3)

Tex Hughson turned the tables on the Yankees and threw a two hit shutout to end the Yankees four game winning streak.  Joe DiMaggio doubled and Aaron Robinson singled to account for all of the Yankees offense.

Spec Shea threw a great game himself and held the Red Sox to a run on three hits but it wasn’t good enough.  He walked seven and struck out two in the loss.

Yankees 3, Red Sox 0  (6-2)

Allie Reynolds took a no hitter into the seventh inning before Rudy York ruined his no hitter with a double.  He finished the game with a two hitter (both hits were by York) and he walked five and struck out five.  It was his second straight shutout win of the season.

Aaron Robinson led the way for the Yankees at the plate.  He homered and drove in two runs to account for most of the Yankees’ offense.
