WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Del Rice blocked the plate, saving a run!
Monte Irvin had 5 hits as the incredible Pittsburgh Pirates outscored the
reeling Washington Nationals 10 to 2.
Pittsburgh promptly took the lead in their half of the first as they scored 6
runs on 6 base hits. That early run support was enough for Eddie Lopat(12-8)
and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh had 15 hits overall, while Washington had 8.
Lopat got relief help from Ned Garver who gained credit for his 2nd save.
Johnny Podres(4-6) was the loser. He got hit hard, allowing 14 hits and 5
walks in 5 innings.
