April 25, 1958 at Griffith Stadium
Senators 2, Yankees 1  (7-3)

The Yankees lost back to back games for the first time this season as Whitey Ford pitched a gem, it was just through eight innings.  He had a four hit shutout going before getting giving up a walk and a double after an error to lose it in the ninth.  The loss dropped Ford to 1-1 on the season.

Mickey Mantle doubled twice and he scored the lone Yankee run.   Bill Skowron doubled twice and drove in Mantle in the first frame.
