Haney Confident Braves on the Move Late This Season
Milwaukee manager Fred Haney, cautious yet hopeful, notes the Braves will likely move later this season than last. He cites injuries, a late surge after a strong 1957 run, and a key win over the San Francisco Giants as signs of pace and potential. Warren Spahn and Don McMahon boosted the bullpen, with McMahon earning his seventh save and Burdette earning another win.
