The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the hopeless Philadelphia Phillies by the slimmest of margins, 9 to 8. Pittsburgh had 4 runs cross the plate in the bottom of the 6th inning when they came up with 4 base hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Hoot Evers who electrified Forbes Field when he tripled bringing in two baserunners. Philadelphia tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th. The win was credited to Allie Reynolds(8-17) who went 7 innings allowing 5 runs. Reynolds got help from Vic Lombardi who earned his 20th save. Curt Simmons(4-16) was tagged with the loss. He struggled with his control issuing 10 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
