Pirates Lead NL Climb After July Fourth Fireworks
The Pittsburgh Pirates seize the NL lead for the first time in 28 years after a 32 game bulge. Despite a rough stretch with three wins in ten and shaky pitching, Milwaukee and San Francisco cooled, while St. Louis and Philadelphia posted mixed results. Haddix and Friend shined in a split with Atlanta as Hank Aaron and Del Crandall sparked late drama. Giants’ Sanford continued his shutout streak in a doubleheader, and Chicago faded further as the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Braves mixed wins.

Geiger Emerges As Hottest Bat In American League
Boston’s Gary Geiger, slim but powerful, posts five hits in nine trips in a July 4 doubleheader split with Baltimore. He belts a two run homer in the opener, ties the nightcap with a clutch single, and nets a triple as part of a scorching stretch that lifts his average to .290. Geiger says regular playing time and familiarization with pitchers fuel his surge, with Ted Williams sharing the spotlight.
