In the only game scheduled on this Monday evening, the New York Mets pound Pittsburgh, 9 – 6. Obscured amidst the offensive fireworks is the sorry plight of poor Jerry Buchek, a career backup infielder on the verge of his career year who’s got to be wondering what he ever did to Pirate right fielder Roberto Clemente, likewise embarking on his own best-ever season.

The Braves then proceed to tie the score at 2-all, but the Nats score a run in the bottom of the 9th on a pinch-hit single by Willie Harris with the bases loaded and none out. Tyler Clippard is credited with the 3 – 2 win.
