Right fielder Monte Irvin blasted 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates smashed the overmatched Philadelphia-AL Athletics, 17 to 5. Irvin enjoyed a great day at the plate. He belted a three-run homer in the 3rd inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 6th inning. Pittsburgh provided plenty of action in the 3rd inning which saw them score 5 runs on 6 hits and the 6th inning with 5 runs on 6 hits. Pittsburgh simply wore out the Philadelphia-AL pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings. Early Wynn(10-6) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 6 innings. Johnny Antonelli(3-11) was given the loss. He allowed 11 hits and 2 walks in 3 innings.
