Spahn Joins Slump With Musial And Mays In Streak
Spahn, the Milwaukee ace, has joined Musial and Mays in a damage stretch as he endures a three game skid. The Braves lefty, aiming for his ninth season with 20 or more wins, was tagged by the Cubs for four homers and dropped to two games back in the standings. The Giants and Pirates also swung in with late-inning drama as Pittsburgh rallied behind Blaine to win, while Spahn’s rough patch continued through another tough outing.
