At the Polo Grounds, the Giants and Phils trade shutouts. New York takes the opener, 5 – 0, behind Curt Barclay’s three-hitter. Danny O’Connell hits a three-run homer off Harvey Haddix, and Willie Mays bangs two triples. Willie has 15 so far and will top the 20 mark this year in doubles, triples and homers, just the 4th player in history to accomplish that. George Brett will join the list in 1979, the last 20th century player to do so. In the second game, Mays has two of the three hits off Jack Sanford, who stops the Giants, 2 – 0.
