Dodgers Lose Tie With Giants as Cardinals Narrow Lead
Brooklyn fell 4-3 in 11 innings at Cincinnati, then darkness halted the Cardinals and Giants in a 1-1 10 inning stalemate. The near-snap of St. Louis’s bid leaves Brooklyn a game and a half up with 11 to play, while Cardinals need better results to catch them. Ernie White allowed two runs through eight before a late two-run single by Mickey Witek tied it. Rays of hope for Brooklyn faded as errors aided late rallies by Cincinnati. In other NL action, Boston beat Chicago 8-5. St. Louis Browns defeated Philadelphia 9-8. Detroit beat Washington 4-2.
