Don Gross Stays Undefeated as Redlegs Top Cardinals 6-2
Don Gross pitched effectively to extend his winless streak against the Cardinals since 1955, as Cincinnati defeated St. Louis 6-2. Wally Post drove in three runs with three hits including a two run homer, while Don Hoak added a two run single. The win, Cincinnati’s fourth in a row, put them two games ahead of Milwaukee in the NL. Fred Hutchinson shuffled the lineup, moving Ken Boyer to center and Eddie Kasko to third.
