Ken Boyer singled home Don Blasingame with the winning run with one out in the bottom of the ninth to cap a wild win. Each team authored five-run innings, and each team hit two home runs. Blasingame led off the ninth with a double and after a sacrifice bunt and an intentional walk, Boyer laced a single into center field. Both starting pitchers--Bob Rush for Milwaukee and Marshall Bridges for St. Louis--gave up six earned runs.

The red-hot Giants mashed their way to another big win. Even without the injured Willie Mays, the Giants bats were too much for Pirates pitching to overcome. Jim Davenport had four hits. The Giants teed off on Ron Blackburn for six runs in the fifth inning.
Philadelphia 6, Los Angeles 2
at Philadelphia, PA
LA 000 010 001 = 2-10-1
PHI 420 000 00x = 6-11-1
WP- Conley (4-3); LP- McDevitt (4-3)
The Phillies got to Los Angeles starter Danny McDevitt early and often, and the Dodgers bullpen needed to toss 6.2 innings of relief, which were highly successful. But the Phillies' damage had been done. A four-run first inning by the Phillies, which included two doubles and a triple, signaled that this wasn't McDevitt's night, and denied the Dodgers that elusive .500 mark.
Chicago 8, Cincinnati 3
at Chicago, IL
CIN 010 010 100 = 3-5-1
CHI 011 200 31x = 8-13-0
WP- Hobbie (6-6); LP- Purkey (5-7)
Tony Taylor had three hits including a two-run homer, and the Cubs won despite their pitchers issuing eight walks. The Reds had drawn to within 4-3 in the seventh inning before the Cubs tacked on three insurance runs in their half of the frame. Only one of the eight free passes that the Reds received, scored. Lee Walls added a solo homer in the eighth inning for the Cubs.
