Yankees Stumble, Lose to Pirates
Getting a good performance from catcher Billy Shantz, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Bronx Yankees, 10-2. Shantz was 2-3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Pirates. Pittsburgh has now won 4 straight, while the Yankees have lost 5 in a row.

Pittsburgh used the clutch hitting of Johnny Groth to capture the win. The left fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to give the Pirates the lead, 6-2. For the game, Groth had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

Shantz called the triumph "a good team win."
