McCovey Breaks Slump With Grand Slam in Giants Win
Willie McCovey ended a skid by hitting a bases loaded grand slam off Carl Willey as the San Francisco Giants defeated Milwaukee 16 7. The 31 hit game tied a major league nine inning mark, moving the Giants within a half game of the Pirates who split two with St Louis. Bob Schmidt led the attack with two doubles and a walk, while Willie Mays added two doubles and a single as San Francisco set a NL record for hits in a game. The Pirates beat St Louis 15 3 in the first game, then lost 5 2 in the second. Stan Williams earned his fifth win for Los Angeles with a four hitter over Cincinnati. Richie Ashburn delivered a 10th inning RBI for Chicago to edge Philadelphia 8 7. Cleveland led the AL as rainouts shaped the standings.
