Ralph Kiner hit his 34th of the year in the third with a man on base, and Johnny Hopp followed with a round-tripper in the fifth with the sacks empty. Sluggish defense and late rally notes appear in the box score as Musial and Saffell led St. Louis, while Law earned the win for Pittsburgh with run support from the home-run barrage.
