Third baseman Sid Gordon lofted one into the 'cheap seats' at Yankee Stadium
as the New York Yankees beat the Washington Nationals 5 to 3.

Mel Parnell(1-0) pitched okay, well enough for the win.  He went 5 innings and
surrended up 4 hits and 2 walks.  Washington was set down quietly in the 9th.

Vern Bickford got the save, his 1st.  Joe Coleman(0-1) was charged with the
loss.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks in 4 innings.
