Clemente's Ninth Homer Caps Pirates Win Over Reds 5-4
Roberto Clemente hits a dramatic three-run shot in the eighth off Billy McCool to lift the Pirates over Cincinnati 5-4. Clemente's power surge comes as Donn Clendenon struggles, with Clemente nearing a secretly strong slugging pace while batting .330 this season. The Reds built a 4-2 lead earlier on Vada Pinson's three-run homer as Gaylord Perry's seven-inning start aided San Francisco's 8-0 win over Chicago.

Oliva and Robinson Made All-Star Squad Change in voting
Minnesota slugger Tony Oliva and Baltimore star Frank Robinson will both be on the American League All-Star first team this season after a last minute change in voting rules. Voters will select three outfielders regardless of position, preventing Oliva or Robinson from missing the top team due to both playing right field. The rule change also requires AL manager Sam Mele to choose between third and fourth place former managers as coaches, since Al Lopez has retired.
