Vernon was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at their team's expense. He blasted a solo shot in the 1st inning and clubbed a two-run home run in the 6th inning. Pittsburgh managed only 5 hits on the afternoon. The win went to Blackwell(9-2) who allowed 3 runs in the game. Warren Spahn(4-6) was the loser. He allowed 3 homeruns in 5 and 1/3 innings of work. Blackwell was asked about his big strikeout performance, 'Well, it's a little odd when you rack up these numbers on the road - instead of cheers and a running tally in the stands, everything gets real still and quiet. Just strange - but it's nice to be able to take the crowd out of the game.'
