April 3 Warren Spahn tossed a complete game at County Stadium as the Milwaukee Braves beat the New York AL Yankees 7 to 3. Gene Freese enjoyed a fine evening at the plate. He lofted a three-run bomb (his 1st of the season) in the 1st inning, banged out a single which plated a run in the 2nd inning and doubled in the 6th inning. Milwaukee banged out 15 on the night. The win was credited to Spahn(1-0) who went the whole way allowing 3 runs. Whitey Ford(0-1) was tagged with the loss. He was touched for 13 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings.

Billy Martin laced a single. Hank Aaron stepped into the batter's box and he slapped a single. Aaron took second on the throw. Orlando Cepeda then was walked intentionally to load the bases. Gene Freese was up next and he delivered a single scoring the run. Milwaukee had only 6 hits for the night. Wilhelm(1-0), allowing 1 run for the game, picked up the victory. Bobby Shantz(0-1) was given the loss in relief. 'Wilhelm gave us exactly what we needed tonight,' Milwaukee's manager said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had them chasing it.'
