Early Wynn came through with a solid 6 innings and first baseman Mickey Vernon
had 3 base hits and 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates outscored the Kansas City
Athletics 8 to 3.

Kansas City was unable to climb back into it after Pittsburgh went ahead for
good in the 4th inning with 2 runs using 4 hits.  Willie Mays led off and
started the rally when he singled.  Two outs later Wally Post stepped in and
he delivered a one-base hit.  Vernon then tripled scoring a run.  Bob Kennedy
followed next and he delivered a base-hit scoring the final run of the
inning.  Pittsburgh out-hit Kansas City for the game, 16 hits to 7.

Wynn(5-1) went 6 innings allowing no runs for the victory. Tom Brewer(0-2) was
the loser.  He was hit hard and gave up 12 hits and 3 walks in 6 and 1/3
innings.
