Duke Snider hit his 21st homer to win the opener and sparked the winning rally in the second game with a single as the Dodgers downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-3 and 4-3. Carl Erskine pitched a seven-hitter for his sixth straight victory and eighth of the year and Sandy Koufax won his second game for Brooklyn. The Chicago Cubs knocked the New York Giants still deeper into the National League cellar with 4-1 and 2-1 victories.

In the American League, the New York Yankees split a doubleheader with the Kansas City Athletics but still lead by 9% games. The Athleti.cs routed 14-game winner Johnny Kucks to win the first game, 7-4, but Bill Skowron and Norm Siebern hit homers to lead the Yankees to a 13-4 rout in the nightcap. Rip Coleman was New York’s winning pitcher. Early Wynn pitched a six-hitter for bis 11th win as the Cleveland Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles. 8-0.
