Henry Aaron hit two homeruns (his 11th and 12th of the season) and went 3 for five while driving in 5 runs. Right behind him in the Braves line-up was Eddie Mathews, who also went 3 for five and raised his average to .320. They led the Braves to a 7-4 win over the Gi(ain'ts). Milwaukee still on top by a game and a half over second place Cincinnat, a 5-4 winner over Philadelphia and three and a half over Brooklyn, who lost on a late error by rookie Joe Pignatano, to Chicago 8-7. Brooks had tied it up in the bottom of the 8th, coming back from early 4-0 and 7-3 scores.
