WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Johnny Temple robbed Yogi Berra of a base hit.
One run was the difference at Forbes Field as the Washington Nationals
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5 to 4.
Carl Erskine(11-7) pitched okay, well enough for the win. He was reached for
9 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings. Washington finished with 10 hits in the
victory.
Fritz Dorish recorded the save, his 10th. Bob Turley(13-7) ended up with the
loss. He surrendered 5 runs and 8 hits in 6 and 1/3 innings.
'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Erskine said,
'this was one of those times.'
