Bot 9th: Monte Irvin robbed Chuck Tanner of an extra base hit.
The New York Giants came roaring back in the top of the ninth to spoil the
anticipated celebration of the hometown fans. The final score,, was 4 to
3.
New York had the game winning rally in the top of the 9th inning with 2 runs
utilizing 4 base hits. After an out was recorded, Monte Irvin started the
attack as he reached on an error. Willie Mays followed and he lined a
single. Hank Thompson then delivered a single to load the bases. Whitey
Lockman was up next and he stroked a base-hit which scored a run. Ray Katt
stepped into the box and banged out a one-base hit scoring the final run of
the inning. New York ended up with 10 hits for the game while Milwaukee had
6.
Hoyt Wilhelm(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 innings. Warren
Spahn(3-3) was tagged with the loss. After the game, it took a long while
before Charlie Grimm emerged from his office. In a subdued tone he answered
only a couple of questions. He concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a
very talkative mood tonight, as I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll
find the banter a lot more light-hearted over in the New York locker room.'

Right fielder Carl Furillo had 3 base hits and 2 RBI at Busch Stadium where
the seemingly unstoppable Brooklyn Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals by
the score of 8 to 2.
Brooklyn jumped on top of St. Louis in the top of the 2nd inning with 2 runs
utilizing 2 base hits. Furillo got things going when he lined a one-base
hit. Gil Hodges was next and he drew a walk. After an out was recorded, Don
Zimmer stepped up to the plate and he stroked a single, and an error was also
committed, scoring two teammates. Overall Brooklyn out-hit St. Louis 12 to
7.
Johnny Podres(4-0) allowed 1 run in 6 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Harvey Haddix(3-4) was the loser. He was not very effective,
surrendering 5 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.

11,758 fans were treated to a fine game at Yankee Stadium as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end. The New York Yankees won by the
slimmest of margins, 4 to 3.
Bob Grim(3-1) gave a fine effort for New York. He surrendered 5 hits and 3
walks in 7 and 1/3 innings. Chicago had a chance to come back in the 9th but
they came up short.
Grim was helped out by Tom Morgan who recorded his 3rd save. Virgil
Trucks(2-4) was the loser. He was unable to control the New York offense and
allowed 7 hits and 2 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.
'We won because we did the little things right.' Casey Stengel said after the
game. 'This is why we practice things over and over and over, so when we get
in close games we don't make mistakes.'

Larry Doby rocketed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Fenway Park as the Cleveland
Indians beat the Boston Red Sox by the count of 10 to 3.
Doby was really in 'the zone'. He singled in the 4th inning, lifted one out
of the park for a two run home run in the 6th inning and belted a three-run
homer (his 7th of the season) in the 7th inning. Cleveland ended up with 12
hits for the game while Boston had 6.
The victory was credited to Early Wynn(3-1) who went 6 innings, allowing 3
runs. Bill Henry(0-2) was tagged with the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in
his 5 and 2/3 innings.
With this win, Cleveland has a 16-14 record. They have been 6-4 lately. With
the loss, Boston has a record of 4-6 lately, 15-18 overall.

Left fielder Minnie Minoso had 3 base hits and 3 RBI and Billy Pierce pitched
a complete game as the Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees 11 to
3 at Yankee Stadium.
New York was unable to claim the lead after Chicago went ahead in the top of
the 5th inning as they scored 2 runs on 3 base hits. Chicago had a total of
13 hits for the game.
Pierce(3-1) got the victory, allowing 3 runs for the game. Whitey Ford(3-2)
was the losing pitcher. He pitched 4 and 1/3 innings and surrendered 8 hits
and no walks.
The Chicago ballclub's record now stands at a league leading 19-9. With an
impressive recent record of 8-2, New York hopes this will only be an isolated
loss - followed by another nice run.
