1938 World Series Game 1

October 5, 1938

The 1938 World Series got underway at Crosley  Field in Cincinnati today and the AL Champion Detroit Tigers took game 1 by a score of 4-1. Cincinnati scored first in the bottom of the 1st, plating a run off Tiger starter Tommy Bridges. That was all the scoring Bridges would allow on the day. Reds starter Paul Derringer, NL Cy Young Award winning pitcher, kept the Tigers off the bases thru the first 3 innings. But in the top of the 2nd, lead off man Dixie Walker got the Tigers 1st hit of the game, a homerun into the right centerfield seats tying the game at 1. The score remained tied until the 7th inning when Detroit ss Billy Rogell hit a clutch 2 run triple giving the visitors a 3-1 lead. Detroit added a run in the 8th and Bridges completed the win for Detroit without any problem.
