Philadelphia-AL took the lead for keeps in the top of the 5th inning plating an isolated run on 2 base hits. Cincinnati made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. Billy Hoeft(7-4) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. Fritz Dorish earned the save, his 6th. Bob Keegan(1-6) was hit with the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings. Rob Hickok was clearly disappointed after the game. 'It was a manager's nightmare out there', he said, 'We should have had this one.'
