Bob Turley went 7 strong innings at Forbes Field as the Pittsburgh Pirates
beat the Philadelphia-AL Athletics 4 to 1.

Pittsburgh jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring 2 runs on
3 hits.  After two were out Mickey Vernon keyed the rally when he stroked a
base-hit.  Willie Mays was next and he tripled scoring a single run.  Yogi
Berra then slapped a one-base hit scoring the final run of the inning.  That
early run support was enough for Turley(3-0) and Pittsburgh.  The
Philadelphia-AL batters went down meekly in the 9th.  

Turley was helped out by Ellis Kinder who recorded his 1st save.  The losing
pitcher was Gordon Jones(1-3).  He allowed 4 runs and 9 hits in 7 innings.
