Colts Fail To Support Johnson In Promo Loss

Only two Colts reached base, Nellie Fox on a hit by pitch and Jim Wynn on a first-inning single, while Bunning improved to 5-1 with his second shutout. Manager Gene Mauch was suspended two games for a prior umpire incident. The Mets and Pirates also won, and Detroit beat Washington in separate AL action.
