Tie for first will trigger playoff in National League race
The St. Louis Cardinals clinched an exact first place tie with the Brooklyn Dodgers after a 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs as ARarry Brecheen dominated with a four hit effort. Brooklyn’s 7-4 victory over the Boston Braves created the tie at season’s end. If both teams win or lose their remaining games, a three game playoff would be required beginning Tuesday at St. Louis with games in Brooklyn thereafter. A rain plan could delay the World Series and the play playoff dates.
