In the 7th inning New York-AL scored 4 runs when they came up with 4 base hits. The critical plate appearance was by Aaron who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he lost the ball over the fence for three runs. The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 7th inning. The win went to Portocarrero(5-3) who allowed 2 runs in the game. Lew Burdette(5-6) was the losing pitcher. He allowed 10 hits and 6 walks in 7 innings.
