Things got off to a pretty good start for the Yankees on May 27, 1933. Starting pitcher Don Brennan threw two scoreless innings to open the game and Lou Gehrig hit a two-run home run in the first inning, giving the Yankees an early lead over the White Sox.
Brennan came back out for the third, and immediately things went south. The Yankees’ starter allowed a single to White Sox pitcher Ted Lyons to open the inning. He walked Jackie Hayes, before Mule Haas cleared the bases with a triple, tying the game. Evar Swanson’s single in the next at-bat gave the White Sox the lead.
