Durocher's Strategy Backfires As Cards Beat Dodgers
The Cardinals beat the Dodgers to even the series as Durocher’s gamble with Melton backfired. Melton’s strong relief stint helped St Louis pound its biggest hit total in a month while the win tightens the standings in the tense three game set. Bobby Feller added a 4-1 Indians win, joining Addie Joss in one hit games as Doerr’s single spoiled Feller’s no hitter bid. Detroit moved into second place by blanking New York 6-0, closing the gap to 12 12 games behind Boston.
