Yankees History

May 2, 1958 at Yankee Stadium
Yankees 8, Athletics 1  (10-4)

Bob Turley continued to shine as the Yankees opened the month of May with a win.  He gave up just one run (first run of the season) on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts in the complete game.  The win improved his record to a perfect 3-0.

Moose Skowron belted his third homerun of the season and he finished with a team high three RBIs.  Norm Siebern went two for three with a double, two RBIs and three runs and Tony Kubek went three for four with a run and an RBI.

Yankees 12, Red Sox 7  (7-1)

The Yankees didn’t get the pitching they’d grown accustomed to this early in the season but it didn’t matter because the hitters broke out in a big way.  Five different Yankees had two RBIs while four scored at least a pair of runs.  Norm Siebern was the hitting star. He had a team high three hits and he homered, drew a walk, drove in two and scored twice.  Gil McDougald also went yard in the win.

Tom Sturdivant gave up all seven runs but he still picked up the win.  He gave up nineteen baserunners (twelve hits and seven walks) but still managed to pick up the win.  Ryne Duren got the final two outs and he picked up his second save of the season.

The Yankees got yet another outstanding pitching performance as they rattled off their fourth straight win.  This time it was Bob Turley who dealt a gem.  He gave up just four hits and seven walks with eight strikeouts in the complete game shutout.

Norm Siebern belted a homer and he drove in two runs in the win.  Mickey Mantle and Gil McDougald each had two hits and two runs a piece.
