Conley McDaniel Shine in Tightening NL Race
In a close National League scramble Conley and McDaniel starred for St Louis and Milwaukee with key wins. Conley moved to 5-1 in six decisions since June, pitching six innings in a 5-3 Braves victory over the Giants to keep Milwaukee within a half game of first. McDaniel allowed only one hit in a strong performance as the Cardinals split a doubleheader with the Braves while Podres and others delivered for Brooklyn and Philadelphia. The day featured Ted Williams and others contributing across leagues as White Sox and Yankees battled, and Brooks Lawrence gave up a grand slam to Carl Furillo in Cincinnati’s loss.
