1958 â At Shibe Park, the first multi-HR game of Roberto Clementeâs career helps the surprising Pirates outlast Philadelphia, 10 â 9. His first and second-inning 2-run blasts touch down in âthe lower deck in left-centerâ and the âupper deck,â respectively, and together with Bill Mazeroskiâs 1st-inning, 2-run rooftop shot, provide a seemingly secure 6 â 0 lead. However, Pittsburghâs four subsequent âadd-onâ runs will prove essentialâand Mazeroskiâs seemingly superfluous 6th-inning RBI single, decisiveâwhen Phillyâs third 3-run rally of the day brings the potential winning run to the plate, and a faltering ElRoy Face out of the game, before order is restored, and the final out recorded, by Pirate starter Vernon Law.
