Spahn’s 300th win caps tough milestone night

Warren Spahn, at 40, pitched through a tense 2-1 victory over the Cubs to become the 13th pitcher to reach 300 wins in the majors. He drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly, outdueled Jack Curtis, and saw Gino Cimoli’s eighth inning homer decide the game as San Francisco’s pennant race continued nearby. The Braves clinched in Milwaukee as St. Louis’ bid faltered and Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Los Angeles chased the outcome. Spahn called it the toughest game he ever pitched amid cameras and champagne in County Stadium.
