The games of August 20th, 1957 had three more doubleheaders and one single game. The single affair had the Pittsburgh Pirates beating front running Milwaukee 3-2. The Brooklyn Dodgers made a run with a sweep over the Cincinnati Redlegs and now are only two percentage points out of second place. Both are two and a half games back of Milwaukee. The Braves are 72 and 47, while the Redlegs are 69-49 and the Dodgers are 70 and 50. In other action the Phillies and Cubs split their double dip as did the Cardinals and Giants. Outstanding performers were Hank Sauer going 3 for four with 4 rbi and a homer. Moe Drabowsky pitched a five hit shutout over Phils striking out 7, while Robin Roberts, Von McDaniel and Johnny Podres all got complete game victories while limiting their opponent to only one run.
