Dodgers Topple Mets with Late Rally
The Dodgers had to overcome a good performance from New York pitcher Vincent Velasquez to claim a 6-5 win at Ebbets Field. Velasquez went 6.1 innings and allowed no earned runs. The winner was Brooklyn reliever Sherman Corbett, now 5-3. The loser was Al Hrabosky. Brooklyn, now 55-67, holds third place in the American League Down.

Brooklyn took a 6-5 lead on Kevin Bell's 9th home run of the season. The 3-run home run came off New York pitcher Al Hrabosky in the bottom of the eighth.

When asked about his performance after the game, Bell said: "Like everyone else, I'm just doing my job."
