Since that date they’ve posted a 10-3 record while the Philadelphia Phillies were 8-6, the Milwaukee Braves 7-6, the Cincinnati. Reds 8-8 and the San Francisco Giants 6-8. Continue Drive The Pirates continued their steady drive toward the top Monday night wjken they rallied in the eighth and ninth innings to score a 3-2 victory over the Giants. It was a typical Pittsburgh win with strong pitching dominating the opposition until the Pirates strung together enough hits to pull -out the decision.

Law, who has had a sore arm for the last few years, has now pitched three consecutive good games. He was a 20-game winner when the Pirates won their last pennant in 1960. The Los Angeles Dodgers went from seventh place in 1958 to a flag in 1959 but no team ever ’has gone from eighth one year to a pennant the next.
