Games of Wednesday, July the 24th, 1957



Only the Milwaukee Braves, one of the top four teams in the National League, won their game on Wednesday. The Braves beat the Phillies, knocking them back to two and one half games. Cincinnati, the other close contender lost to Bob Friend and the Pirates as the "weak" hitting Bucs hit 3 homeruns off lefty Joe Nuxhall at the very friendly confines of Crosely Field. The other top four team, the Brooklyn Dodgers, battled in St. Louis and lost on a walk off homerun by Joe Cunningham on the second pitch served up by reliever Roger Craig in the bottom of the tenth inning.
