The Cincinnati ballclub's record now stands at 76-59. With the loss, the Chicago ballclub's record is 61-71. MILWAUKEE AT ST.

After an out was recorded, Aaron stepped in and he cracked a two-run shot (his 29th of the season). Milwaukee ended up with 11 hits for the game while St. Louis had 8. The win went to Ernie Johnson(10-3) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. The loss was charged to Sam Jones(14-8). He was touched for 11 hits and 4 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. Jones was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get away. What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans. One minute things are looking great, then. BOOM, it's over with! I just hope I get a chance to redeem myself real soon!'
