Drysdale Paces Dodgers In Their Pennant Climb
Dodgers surge behind Don Drysdale as he anchors a settled pitching staff. Since a month ago they rose from fifth place, winning 19 of 29, starting with Drysdale’s four hit shutout of Milwaukee. He added his sixth win in a 3-0 victory over Pittsburgh to reclaim second place, closing the gap on the first-place Giants and edging the Braves by a slim margin. Cincinnati topped St Louis 11-5 as Johnny Temple drove in four for the Reds, and Frank Robinson led NL with 85 RBIs with a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly.
