Yanees 6, Senators 1  (4-1)

Lefty Gomez threw a gem today for the Yankees as he picked up his first win of the season.  He gave up just a single run on five hits and four walks with four strikeouts.

It was a complete team effort for the Yankees as all six runs were driven in by different players and only Red Rolfe finished the game with two hits.  Tony Lazzeri continued his hot hitting and he was once of the players with an RBI.
