The Yankees won their home opener as they dispatched the Orioles with another solid outing from their starting pitcher.  This time it was Whitey Ford who got it done.  He gave up just a single run on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in the complete game win.

Moose Skowron went three for four with a double, a run and an RBI to lead the Yankees at the plate.  Mickey Mantle was a perfect two for two with two walks and two runs.
