Yankees Lose First Game of Season

by @ 7:57 am. Filed under 1927 Yankees, 1927 Yankees Diary - April, Bob Shawkey, Lou Gehrig

April 19, 1927 at Yankee Stadium

Red Sox 6, Yankees 3  (6-1)

It had to happen eventually, even to the 1927 Yankees but they finally lost a game to end their six game winning streak.  Lou Gehrig provided most of the offense for the Yanks.  He went two for five with a double and two of the three Yankees’ runs. 

Bob Shawkey was roughed up for five runs in six innings and he took the loss.  He walked two and struck out three.
