WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Mickey Vernon robbed Duane Pillette of a base hit.

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.
