The Pirates sweep a pair from the Giants, winning 7 – 6 and 9 – 0. Sore-armed Vern Law, making his first start in more than three weeks, is lifted in the 6th and Harvey Haddix wins in relief. Bobby Shantz pitches a 5-hitter to win the nitecap as the Bucs score six unearned runs off Juan Marichal. The Giants, 2 1/2 games back yesterday, will be nine out on the evening of July 8. The Giants’ Orlando Cepeda flexes his muscles, as does Pittsburgh’s Roberto Clemente. The Baby Bull powers a two-run, tape measure blast over the centerfield bricks. Shortly thereafter, the rival stars trade 425-footers. Crashing against Forbes Field’s right center exit gate, Cepeda’s blast goes for two bases. Clemente’s clout comes in the nightcap, good for a bases-clearing triple which puts Pittsburgh’s up, 8 – 0.
