Chicago-NL came up with 4 runs in the 6th inning with the help of 4 hits. The key at-bat was by Pee Wee Reese who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he hit a single bringing in two baserunners. Washington made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. The victory was credited to Bubba Church(1-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 6 runs. Church got help from Jim Konstanty who earned his 1st save. Bob Feller(0-1) took the loss. He gave up 8 runs in 5 innings of work. 'This was a tough loss,' said Gordy Renaud, 'the kind that sticks with you for awhile.'
