Top 7th: Willie Mays robbed Roy Sievers of an extra base hit. Roy Sievers homered and had 3 RBI at Forbes Field where the Washington Nationals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 8 to 6. Washington came up with 6 runs in the 3rd inning with the help of 6 hits. The highlight belonged to Sievers who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he smacked a three-run homer. Due to a poorly pitched ballgame, scoring in 5 different innings was still not enough for Pittsburgh to come away with the victory. Art Houtteman(2-2) allowed 5 runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory. Don Newcombe earned his 2nd save. The losing pitcher was Billy Pierce(3-4). He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 8 hits and 3 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings. The Washington ballclub's record now stands at 15-26. With the loss, Pittsburgh has a record of 6-4 lately, 26-19 overall.
