Allie Reynolds hits a bases-loaded single and hurls the Yanks to a 7 – 2 win over the A’s. The loss goes to Carl Scheib‚ but Bobby Shantz pitches the last 6 2/3 innings and clouts his only career homer‚ off the Chief.

The Giants’ Eddie Stanky is banished by umpire Lon Warneke for refusing to stop waving his arms in an attempt to distract Phillies’ batter Andy Seminick. This is a reprise of a shuffle Stanky initiated on August 9th. In the 4th‚ Stanky moves over behind second base and goes into a windup the same time as the pitcher. Giants manager Leo Durocher had agreed to await a league ruling on the tactic‚ but after Seminick knocks Hank Thompsonunconscious in a collision at third base‚ Durocher turns Stanky loose. In the 4th‚ Seminick reaches base on an error‚ then on a force at second base, he puts a linebacker block on Bill Rigney‚ Stanky’s replacement‚ and both dugouts empty for a brawl. The Phils go on to win, 5 – 4, in 11 innings‚ on Stan Lopata’s triple and a sac fly by Eddie Waitkus. The Giants protest Stanky’s ouster to no avail.
