Joe Adcock jacked one out of the ballyard and had 5 RBI as the Washington Nationals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 12 to 10 at Griffith Stadium. The Washington fans enjoyed the offense provided by Adcock. He stroked a base-hit which was good for two runs in the 1st inning and launched a three-run homer in the 2nd inning. Pittsburgh scored in 6 different innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from victory. Joe Nuxhall(3-4) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Vinegar Bend Mizell(0-2) ended up with the loss. He gave up 8 runs in 2 innings of work.
