Pirates Stay Hot as Mets Rally for Win and Cubs Fall
In a doubleheader at Atlanta, Montreal beat Athens messenger 8-2 while San Francisco’s game was rained out. Virdon warned after a Pirates win that past leaders like the 1964 Phillies could fade late. Matlack earned his 10th win after a tough stretch, while Cleon Jones drove in the decisive run in the 10th. Cincinnati stretched its lead with a four-run first inning, aided by Bench and Perez. Dodgers benefited from Houston errors as Osteen homered, Cedeno added a 14th, and Sizemore drove in two for St. Louis.
