IN THE NEWS: In Philadelphia, Pirates OF Gus Bell hits for the cycle in a 12–4 win over the Phillies.In Cleveland, in an effort to defeat their Yankee nemesis, the Indians distribute 15,000 lucky rabbits feet for Beat Eddie Lopat Night. Lopat recalled later, "While I was warming up, before the game, a drunk came on the field and threw a black cat at me and it clung to my uniform jersey." It works, as Cleveland plates five runs in the first inning—three on a Bob Kennedy homer—on the way to an 8–2 win. It is Lopat's first defeat to the Indians after 11 straight wins.
At Boston, the Reds are down 7–0 after seven innings, but score three in the eighth and seven in the ninth to beat the Braves, 10–7.

IN THE NEWS: Happy Chandler says that his resignation will become effective on July 15th. Just before game time at Wrigley Field, the Cubs and Dodgers make a 4-for-4 trade: OF Andy Pafko, P Johnny Schmitz, C Rube Walker, and IF Wayne Terwilliger go to Brooklyn for C Bruce Edwards, OF Gene Hermanski, IF Eddie Miksis, and P Joe Hatten. To the surprise of fans, the 8 appear in their new uniforms. The Cubs get the best today as Bruce Edward knocks in 4 runs, three on a homer, off Carl Erskine, and Miksis fields well. Pafko hits his 13th homer in a losing cause and will incur an injury in this series that will sideline for three weeks in July. But the New York Post expresses the sentiment of most, calling it "the most barefaced swindle in years."
Pittsburgh sends Cliff "no hit" Chambers and OF Wally Westlake to the Cards for C Joe Garagiola, P Howie Pollet, P Ted Wilks, OF Bill Howerton, and 2B Dick Cole.
The Yanks swap pitchers, sending Tommy Byrne to the Browns for Stubby Overmire: New York adds $25,000 to the deal. The Yanks also deal three RH pitchers—Bob Porterfield, Tom Ferrick, and Fred Sanford—to the Senators for needed lefty Bob Kuzava. Porterfield will blossom into the Nats ace over the next five years, but Kuzava will save the final World Series game in 1951 and 1952.

IN THE NEWS: Monty Irvin clubs two homers off Ralph Branca as the Giants edge the Dodgers, 5–4. The second homer, a three-run shot in the eighth, gives the win the reliever Sheldon Jones. The Dodgers now lead the Giants by five games. The Cubs Frank Hiller faces just 27 batters in pitching a one-hitter over the Cards, winning 8–0. Enos Slaughter has a fifth-inning single but is erased on a DP. Randy Jackson poles his seventh homer in the seventh and the Cubs pull off a double steal in the ninth when they add four runs. Jack Cusick swipes home, with Hiller stealing third.
The singer Helen Traubel sells her estimated 5,000 shares in the Browns to Bill Veeck and urges her fellow stock holders to do the same.

IN THE NEWS: The Braves make it easy for new manager Tommy Holmes' first appearance in front of the home crowd. Boston tallies eight runs in the seventh inning and seven runs in the eighth inning, to squash to Giants 19–7. Backing Vern Bickford's pitching, Earl Torgeson racks up seven RBIs in the two innings, including a grand slam off Sal Maglie, the first time the Barber's been clipped for a slam.
