Behind Carl Mays and Dolf Luque, the Reds sweep a pair from the visiting Pirates, 4 – 1 and 4 – 3. The two teams combine for a major-league record as only one walk is issued in the twinbill.

The Giants bring a half-game lead into Ebbets Field. With the park already packed, some 7,000 fans batter down the LF exit gate with a telephone pole and break into the field. The Giants win the thriller, 8 – 7, despite three Robin runs in the 9th.
