Leading off, Pete Reiser homers to RF. Jackie Robinson hits a RBI double. Johnny Rucker & Don Ross hit RBI singles. Borowy gets roughed up in the 1st, and also throws a wild pitch. 4-0, Dodgers. In the bottom of the 5th, Clyde McCullough hits a RBI double. Eddie Waitkus hits a 2-run single. 4-3. In the 6th, Carl Furillo hits a sac fly. 5-3. Ed Head relieves Gregg in the bottom of the 7th.

Reiser then slams a 3-run HR to RF, and we lead it 9-7. With no one out, Bob Chipman* relieves Borowy. Charlie Grimm kept Borowy in a bit too long.

WP: Head (5-0) LP: Borowy (14-8) POG: Pete Reiser (4 of 6 with 2 doubles, 2 HR, 4 RBI and 2 runs scored) Att: 9,627
The Giants defeat the Cardinals 3-1, so we regain a half-game lead.
Stats note: Pete Reiser is an ideal leadoff hitter for us, hitting .275/10/48, with 47 SB. As long as he stays healthy, he will keep that role. His OPS is .776, which leads the team. Every one of our position players has contributed in some fashion, and all but two of them have hit at least 1 HR.
Team note: the best trade I made all season was in sending popular SS Pee Wee Reese to the Tigers for star pitcher Hal Newhouser*. It has proven to be good for both teams, as the defending WS champion Tigers are in 1st place in the AL.
