Slaughter and Musial Star in Win Over Bucs
Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter led St Louis to a 15-6 victory over Pittsburgh, lifting the Cardinals from a slump as both homered. Musial hit .316 on a home stand with eight RBIs and three homers. Slaughter batted .852 with nine RBIs in the stretch. A rough top of the first for Pittsburgh, highlighted by Ralph Kiner’s 10th homer, briefly gave them four runs. The win moved St Louis into a fifth place tie with Philadelphia as Boston and Washington gained on the leaders after rain shortened New York–Detroit. Ted Williams delivered the decisive RBI in the eighth with a bases-loaded single. Cleveland beat Washington 16–5, game called after the first part of the eighth to allow travel in rain. Other majors had no schedules.
