Improved Braves pitching fuels pennant push
The Atlanta Braves, historically reliant on slugging, now ride strong pitching to move into third place and chase the World Series. A 4-1 win over the Reds highlighted pitchers Ken Johnson and Jay Ritchie, while Alou, Geiger, and Aaron slugged for five early runs. In other NL action, the Phillies upset the Giants 8-3 as Richie Allen and Billy Cowan fueled a five-run third inning, and the Dodgers edged the Mets in 11 innings behind Al Ferrara's homer and a late rally. The Cardinals and Cubs were idle.
