Cincinnati started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of the first when they tallied 2 runs on 1 hit. The crucial at-bat was provided by Ted Kluszewski who deflated the crowd as he blasted a two-run home run. The Cincinnati offense man-handled the Washington pitching staff as they scored in 7 of the 9 innings. The win was credited to Warren Hacker(3-1) who went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs. Ernie Johnson recorded his 9th save. Don Larsen(2-4) absorbed the loss. He served up 3 gopher balls in 8 innings. The Cincinnati ballclub's record now stands at 22-15. Gordy Renaud was unhappy with his club's recent performance. 'We can't keep losing games' he said. 'It gets to be embarrassing after a while.'
