Pennant Driving Cards Fire Up in Reds Doubleheader

The St Louis Cardinals, dubbed the Gas House Gang, swept the doubleheader from the Cincinnati Reds to tighten their grip on the pennant with wins that boosted their lead and showcased a powerful offense. Johnny Mize starred with two homers in the nightcap as manager Bill McKechnie shuffled pitchers. The loop saw crowded parks and shifting leads as Chicago and Pittsburgh also split, with the Cubs extending a Pirates skid to 12 games. Giants and Phillies won their opener as the Sox and Dodgers rallied in others.
