The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance provided by Thomson. He delivered a solo blast in the 3rd inning and clubbed a three-run home run in the 4th inning. Pittsburgh provided plenty of action in the 4th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 7 hits and the 6th inning which saw them score 5 runs on 7 hits. Pittsburgh simply wore out the Washington pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings. Early Wynn(7-5) allowed 2 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. Bob Friend preserved the game for Wynn, recording his his 2nd save. The loss was charged to Bob Feller(4-7). He surrended 4 homeruns in his 4 and 2/3 innings.
