Homeruns- E.Bouchee(17th), R.Repulski(10th)
 
Robin Roberts went the distance as the Philadelphia Phillies smashed the
overmatched Chicago Cubs, 12 to 2.
 
Ed Bouchee had a big day with his bat. He stroked a base-hit in the 1st
inning, delivered a single in the 3rd inning and rifled a three-run blast
(his 17th of the season) in the 4th inning.  Philadelphia dominated
offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.  
 
Roberts(8-10), allowing 2 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Don
Elston(2-9) was given the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 9
runs in 3 and 2/3 innings.

Homeruns- D.O'Connell(3rd), W.Covington(10th)
 
In a two run game the New York Giants got by the Milwaukee Braves in 14
innings by the score of 5 to 3.
 
Both teams were tied at 3 runs apiece after nine innings.  New York won the
hard fought contest in the 14th inning.  After an out was recorded, Whitey
Lockman started the attack as he drew a walk.  Ray Monzant got his chance to
keep things going, but he went down on strikes.  Willie Mays then drew a
walk.  Ozzie Virgil stepped in and he drew a walk to load the bases.  Don
Mueller stepped into the box and lined a single scoring two baserunners.
Milwaukee was retired without difficulty in the bottom of the 14th.  
 
The win went to Monzant(1-4) who allowed no runs in 3 innings. Juan
Pizarro(6-2) absorbed the loss in relief.  He had trouble throwing strikes
and issued 6 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings.

The seemingly unstoppable Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the slumping St. Louis
Cardinals by a score of 5 to 2 at Sportsman's Park.
 
Whammy Douglas(1-0) was solid if not spectacular.  He was reached for 5 hits
and 4 walks in 6 innings.  Pittsburgh banged out 8 on the night.  
 
Douglas got help from Bob Smith who was credited with his 6th save.  Vinegar
Bend Mizell(4-4) took the loss.  He pitched 8 innings and surrendered 7 hits
and 3 walks.
