Vic Raschi shuts out the Indians as the Yankees close within a game and a half. Phillies rally to defeat St. Louis 6 to 5, while Chicago tops Boston 3 to 1 and Ted Williams homers twice in the nightcap. Brooklyn edges Pittsburgh 6 to 2 on a grand slam by Wacker Flodinson as Jarry Jansen earns his eighth win for the Giants. Cubs offense explodes late, and a Civics–West Pittsburg game is cancelled with a rescheduled card.
