Lawrence(3-1) was in control of the game from the outset. He didn't allow much, just 5 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 2.23. Cincinnati had just 6 hits for the afternoon. The loss was charged to Bob Rush(1-4). He pitched 7 innings allowing 5 hits and 3 walks. MILWAUKEE AT ST.

The game was deadlocked at 3 after nine full innings. Finally, Milwaukee pulled the game out in the 10th inning. After an out was recorded, Hank Aaron started the attack as he slapped a single. Mathews followed and he doubled, and an error was also committed, knocking home two runners. One out later, Chuck Tanner stepped up to the plate and he smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 1st of the season). Milwaukee took care of St. Louis with no trouble in the bottom of the 10th. Ray Crone(1-2) went 4 innings allowing no runs for the win. Lloyd Merritt(0-1) was given the loss in relief. He was knocked around, surrendering 4 runs in 3 innings.

Friend(3-3) was very good in the win. He surrendered only 5 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from 4.13 to 3.63. Neither team managed to score after the 4th inning. Harvey Haddix(0-3) was tagged with the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 12 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings. The Pittsburgh ballclub's record now stands at 10-12. With this loss, Philadelphia has a 3-7 record of late, 8-14 overall.

Gail Harris stepped up next and he would hit into a fielders choice giving New York the victory as 11,856 happy fans celebrated wildly. New York out-hit Brooklyn for the game, 11 hits to 5. The winning pitcher was Mike McCormick(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning. Ed Roebuck(2-1) took the loss in relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning giving up 1 hit and no walks.
