The Phils rally for five runs in the 8th to tie, but the Giants win in 10 innings, 8 – 7. Monte Irvin, sliding across the plate with the winning run, injures catcher Andy Seminick, limiting his effectiveness. He will play the next day and all through the World Series, later to find out that he has a bone separation. In the nitecap, Bobby Thomson’s 1st-inning inside-the-park grand slam is all the Giants need as Jim Hearn wins, 5 – 0. The Dodgers split with the Braves, cutting the Phillies’ lead to two games.
