Philadelphia-AL had the winning rally in the 8th inning scoring 3 runs on 2 base hits. After an out was recorded, Jim Piersall began the Philadelphia-AL spurt when he drew a walk. Dave Hoskins then let one slip out of his hand for a wild pitch. One out later, Gil Hodges then laced a base-knock resulting in a run. Thompson was up next and he clubbed a two-run home run. The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5 times. Fritz Dorish(7-6) went 7 innings allowing 5 runs for the victory. Lew Burdette recorded the save, his 2nd. Hoskins(6-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. He was not very effective, surrendering 3 runs in 2 innings.
