Chicago-NL took the lead for keeps in the top of the 4th inning when they scored 5 runs on 3 hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Eddie Mathews who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he belted a three-run homer. For the game Chicago-NL out-hit Washington 17 to 7. Warren Spahn(5-2) took the loss. He was knocked around by Chicago-NL, allowing 10 hits and 5 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings. Chicago-NL now has a record of a league leading 43-20. Still in a bad slump, with this loss, Washington is 2-8 lately and 27-24 on the year.
