Don Mueller came to the plate and doubled. After an out was recorded, Mickey

stroked a single driving in two more baserunners. Yogi Berra stepped into
the box and delivered a base-hit scoring the final run of the inning.

Gene Bearden earned the save, his 1st. Robin Roberts(17-10) was tagged with
the loss. He was unable to control the Pittsburgh offense and allowed 12
hits and 2 walks in 7 innings.
