Willie Mays hits 533rd homer in Giants sweep of Houston
Willie Mays belts his 533rd career homer in San Francisco's 5-2 and 5-3 wins over Houston. Mays, now one homer shy of Jimmy Foxx's 534, declines talk of historical chase while teammate Matt Alou holds the batting lead with .344 and remains on pace for the NL title. The Giants also receive homers from Bob Bolin and Tom Haller as Len Gabrielson lifts a key three-run double in the second game.
