Art Shamsky hits his 4th consecutive home run, tying the major league record, but the Reds lose again to the Pirates, 4 – 2. Shamsky had not played the day before, and did not come in today until the 7th inning when his two-run homer puts the Reds up, 2 – 1. The homer streak will end tomorrow in Los Angeles, when he delivers a pinch single against Bob Miller.

The Yanks sweep two from the Indians, winning the nitecap, 6 – 4. The Indians help in the second game by making six errors in one inning, one short of the record. Mickey Mantle helps with a homer off lefty Jack Kralick, but he’ll sit the next 12 days after reinjuring his knee.
