The New York-AL Yankees edged the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field by the score of 5 to 4. New York-AL took the lead off Bob Turley in the first inning when they came up with 3 runs on 1 hit. The highlight belonged to Hank Aaron who disappointed the partisan crowd when he tripled bringing in two baserunners. Pittsburgh had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. Duane Pillette(6-5) went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Jim Wilson recorded his 4th save. Turley(9-5) was hit with the loss. He pitched 7 innings allowing 5 hits and 5 walks.
