NEW YORK AT BOSTON Giants.......... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 2 5 1 Braves.......... 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 - 4 6 1 Win:Brandt(7-12) Loss:Parmelee(5-3) Homeruns- T.Jackson(11th), H.Leiber(4th) Ed Brandt completed the game without help from the bullpen and Les Mallon collected 2 extra-base hits and had 2 RBI at Braves Field as the Boston Braves beat the New York Giants 4 to 2. Brandt(7-12) contributed a very nicely pitched game. He allowed only 5 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings and surrendered 2 homeruns. Boston had only 6 hits for the afternoon. Roy Parmelee(5-3) was given the loss. Bill Terry was obviously impressed with the pitching of Brandt, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there this afternoon. We just couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him. I just hope that he got that kinda performance out of his system.' PHILADELPHIA AT BROOKLYN Phillies........ 4 0 1 1 2 5 0 0 0 - 13 15 1 Dodgers......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 - 3 5 1 Win:Johnson(3-4) Loss:Babich(0-7) Dolph Camilli had 4 hits and 2 RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies ballclub embarrassed the Brooklyn Dodgers by the count of 13 to 3. Camilli was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at their team's expense. He doubled scoring a run in the 1st inning, tripled in the 3rd inning, tripled which plated a run in the 5th inning and tripled in the 8th inning. Philadelphia had 15 hits for the afternoon while Brooklyn had 5. Syl Johnson(3-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 and 2/3 innings and allowing 3 runs. Johnny Babich(0-7) was hit with the loss. He was touched for 13 hits and 5 walks in 6 innings. 'It's been a rough ride lately, but this was a good win for us' said Jimmie Wilson, 'Maybe this will put us back on track.' PITTSBURGH AT CINCINNATI Pirates......... 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 - 4 9 0 Reds............ 2 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 7 10 1 Win:Frey(4-11) Loss:Lucas(6-7) Save:Kolp(4th) Homeruns- G.Slade(6th) At Crosley Field the Cincinnati Reds scored 4 runs in the 2nd inning and outscored the Pittsburgh Pirates 7 to 4. Cincinnati tallied 4 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning when they had 5 base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Benny Frey(4-11) and Cincinnati. That was all the run support Frey required. Ray Kolp relieved and was untouched by Pittsburgh as he recorded the save, his 4th. The loss was charged to Red Lucas(6-7). Cincinnati, who had been struggling lately, moved their record to 35-62. They are now 2-8 in their last ten games. With the loss, Pittsburgh has a record of 4-6 lately, 51-44 overall. ST. LOUIS AT CHICAGO Cardinals....... 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 4 0 0 - 6 12 1 Cubs............ 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 3 - 9 11 1 Win:Root(5-2) Loss:Mooney(3-6) Homeruns- C.Root(2nd) The Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in 10 innings by a score of 9 to 6 at Wrigley Field. The score was tied at 6 after nine. Chicago won it in the 10th inning. After an out was recorded, Charlie Grimm started the rally when he drew a walk. Stan Hack stepped into the batter's box and he drew a walk. Charlie Root then belted a three-run homer making Chicago the victors to the delight of the home town faithful. Chicago had 11 hits for the afternoon. The victory was credited to Root(5-2) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs. Jim Mooney(3-6) was tagged with the loss in relief. He was not very effective, surrendering 5 runs in 3 and 1/3 innings. With this win, Chicago has a 58-40 record. They have been 7-3 lately. With the loss, the St. Louis ballclub's record is 55-42.
