IN THE NEWS:
The Dodgers rip St. Louis 20-4 with the help of two big innings. Dodger Jackie Robinson fans twice in the third inning, while Gil Hodges walks twice in the sixth. Roy Campanella's five RBIs ties the NL season mark of most RBIs by a catcher (122).
Led by OF Jim Pendleton's three HRs, the Braves tie the Yankees' 1939 major-league record for the most HRs in a game with eight in their 19-4 win over Pittsburgh in the first game of a doubleheader. Pendleton is only the second rookie in history to hit three HRs in one game. In game two of the doubleheader, the Braves hit four more HRs to win 11-5. The 12 homers in a doubleheader shatters the previous mark of 9. Eddie Mathews's four HRs for the day give him an NL-leading 43; he will end the season with 47 HRs, 30 of them
on the road to set an major-league record.
