The Milwaukee Braves nipped the Cincinnati Redlegs 5 to 4 at County Stadium in
a hard fought contest.
Lew Burdette(4-3) was solid if not spectacular. He went 6 innings allowing 5
hits and 1 walk and served up 2 'big flies'. Cincinnati had a chance to come
back in the 9th but they came up short.
Burdette was helped out by Bob Buhl who recorded his 1st save. Gerry
Staley(2-5) was the losing pitcher. He was knocked around pretty good,
giving up 4 runs in 3 and 2/3 innings.
Don Newcombe pitches a three hitter ending the Dodger losing streak at 2 games, 3-2 over the Pirates.

Don Newcombe held Pittsburgh to 3 hits at Forbes Field where the Brooklyn
Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3 to 2.
The deciding run was scored by Brooklyn in the 8th. Gil Hodges smashed a
bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 10th of the season). Brooklyn finished with 10
hits in the victory.
The victory was credited to Newcombe(5-1) who went the distance, allowing 2
runs. Ron Kline(1-6) was given the loss. 'Newcombe just dominated us' losing
pitcher Kline said. 'Hopefully we can get to him the next time around'

Mike Garcia blanked Chicago in a very well-pitched complete game as the
Cleveland Indians outscored the Chicago White Sox 1 to 0.
Garcia(4-4) looked very much in control throughout the day. He allowed just 9
hits and 3 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 2.87 to 2.45. Chicago
had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
Sandy Consuegra(2-1) was hit with the loss. 'Fundamentals, fundamentals,
fundamentals' said Marty Marion after the game. 'We lost this game today
because we didn't follow the instructions every Little Leaguer hears every
day.'
Jim Wilson, acquired from the Braves at the start of the season, throws a 2 hit shutout as the O's tame the Red Sox 4-0.

Ray Herbert blanked Detroit allowing just 2 hits at Municipal Stadium as the
Kansas City Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 3 to 0.
Herbert(1-1) was virtually untouchable. He gave up just 2 hits and 3 walks in
9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 7.20 to 2.57. Detroit was set down
quietly in the 9th.
Frank Lary(2-5) was the loser. He pitched 7 innings and surrendered 7 hits
and no walks. 'Herbert gave us exactly what we needed tonight,' Lou Boudreau
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.'
The Orioles score 3 in the bottom of the 9th to win 6-5 and break an 8 game losing streak.

using 2 hits. Bobby Young led off and he delivered a one-base hit. Eddie
Waitkus came next and he drew a walk. Cal Abrams then drew a walk to load
the bases. Gil Coan stepped in and he would hit into a force play knocking
in a run. Tom Hurd then unleashed a wild pitch bringing in another run.
After an out was recorded, Les Moss stepped up to the plate and he singled
giving Baltimore the victory as 7,611 happy fans celebrated wildly. Boston
had 11 hits in the game while Baltimore had 7, but Baltimore had the more
timely hits.
Ray Moore(1-4) was the winner allowing no runs in 1 inning. Hurd(1-2) was hit
with the loss in relief. Baltimore scored big getting 3 runs off him in 2
innings.
'What a game!,' Moore said afterward. 'When we won it I almost couldn't

Paul Minner tossed a shutout and Ted Tappe cracked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI at
Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals by the count
of 9 to 0.
Tappe provided much of the offense. He ripped a solo home run in the 5th
inning and blasted a two-run home run (his 3rd of the season) in the 7th
inning. Chicago rapped out 12 hits for the afternoon.
Minner(3-3) went the distance for the shutout. Larry Jackson(2-4) was given
the loss. He gave up 5 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings of work.
