Yankees History

April 20, 1937 at Yankee Stadium

Senators 3, Yankees 2  (0-1)

The Yankees began their defense of the baseball world championship on a less then solid note as they could never get their bats going in a loss to the Senators.  Lou Gehrig had a nice day at the plate with three hits and an RBI while the Yankees other run was driven in by Bill Dickey.

Lefty Gomez had a solid start but it wasn’t good enough for the win.  He gave up three runs on ten hits and three walks in the loss.
