Mays Hits Two Homers As Giants Edge Mets
Willie Mays powers the San Francisco Giants to a 4-1 win at Shea Stadium despite a cold, homering twice for his 18th and 19th runs. Alvin Dark, praising Mays for his stance on race, kept him in to help the team while playing through illness. Mc Covey also homered and Haller drove in Cepeda as the Giants trim the NL pennant gap to two games behind Philadelphia. Meanwhile Phillies sweep Houston, Braves topple Reds, Pirates beat Dodgers, and Cardinals defeat Cubs in a day of tight standings shifts. In the American League, KC, LA, Detroit, Minnesota, and Cleveland win as Bunning earns his 11th, Allen belts a key homer, and Herrstein and Callison contribute for Philadelphia.
