Games of Saturday, August 3rd, 1957

Is it too late for the St.Louis Cardinals? Billy Muffet made his Major League debut in relief against the Phillies and closed the door on Quakers to preserve Von McDaniles best game of the season. In onther action, the Milwaukee Braves blew a sizeable lead to the Flatbush Flock, with Don McMahon coming in an walking everybody insight. Actually his sight and the umpires was really bad for Braves fans. Giants won again at Cincinnati so the Braves didn't lose any ground.

Willie Mays collected 2 extra-base hits and had 3 RBI as the New York Giants
defeated the Cincinnati Redlegs by the score of 9 to 3 at Crosley Field.

Ray Monzant(2-4) was reasonably effective in relief and got credit with the
victory. He went 5 innings allowing 3 hits and 6 walks. Monzant got relief
help from Jim Constable who was excellent in relief and gained credit for his
1st save.

The losing pitcher was Art Fowler(7-2). He pitched 5 innings allowing 8 hits
and no walks.

BROOKLYN AT MILWAUKEE

In a thriller the Brooklyn Dodgers staged a dramatic comeback then held on to
win over the Milwaukee Braves by a score of 9 to 7 at County
Stadium.

Brooklyn came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th inning
as they scored 4 runs on 2 base hits. The big moment was provided by Gil
Hodges who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he singled
plating two runs. It was roller coaster of a game as the lead change hands 5
times.

The victory was credited to Ed Roebuck(4-4) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Don Bessent recorded his 1st save. Lew Burdette(9-8) took the loss.

Fred Haney was not very talkative after his team's tough loss. 'I'm not in
the mood for questions, but I'm sure Walter Alston will be glad to talk about
the game as long as you have questions to ask.'

McDaniel(3-4) pitched a fine game. He went 6 and 1/3 innings surrendering 2
hits and 1 walk seeing his ERA drop from 5.05 to 4.66. Philadelphia
threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.

Billy Muffett earned the save, his 1st. Robin Roberts(8-11) was tagged with
the loss. He gave up 3 runs and 5 hits in 7 innings.
