In Pittsburgh, Bob Friend blanked Milwaukee 4-0 on five hits as the Pirates beat the Braves 5-3 in the second game of the doubleheader. Ted Savage and Donn Clendenon homered, Roberto Clemente added a two run double, and three Braves errors help fuel the two decisive runs in the eighth.
In New York the Cardinals split a Sunday doubleheader with the Mets. Tim McCarver belted an inside the park grand slam in the seventh and eighth to power a 10-4 win after the Mets won the opener 8-7 amid fielding miscues. Ray Sadecki pitched well overall for St. Louis earning his third straight win as Bob Humphreys took the loss in relief.
Pete Rose drove in two runs with a sacrifice fly and a homer as Cincinnati beat Philadelphia 3-1 in the second game, while the Reds blew a five run lead in the ninth of game one and lost 8-7 in 10 innings. John Tsitouris earned the nightcap win with a four hitter. Clay Dalrymple homered for Philadelphia in the loss.
Maury Wills delivered a three-run double in the sixth as the Dodgers beat the Cubs 11-8 at Wrigley Field. Ernie Banks hit three homers for Chicago, but Dodgers pitchers, led by Larry Sherry, held on after Sandy Koufax’s exit. Dodgers tallied 13 hits, including Tommy Davis with a homer and three singles, in front of a 35,743 crowd. Banks matched a high-flying Cubs rally but Wills sealed the series-clinching win with key hits.
John Jack Root, 86, the world’s first light heavyweight champion after the 1903 creation of the 175-pound class, died early Sunday in a Los Angeles hospital.
