The story of the Yankees’ craziest game of 1952

The second game of a August 13, 1952 doubleheader turned into a pretty wild game.

After dropping the opening game of a double header on August 13, 1952, Bob Kuzava got the start for the Yankees in the second game. The Senators won the first game 12-4, scoring six off Yankees’ starter Vic Raschi.

Kuzava started the game off for the Yankee with a scoreless inning in the top of the first. In the bottom of the first, Hank Bauer and Phil Rizutto hit two straight singles to start things off. After Mickey Mantle flew out, Yogi Berra drove home a run with a single.
