IN THE NEWS :
IN THE NEWS :Whitey Lockman is ejected during a 12-inning 3–2 win over the Padres. Coach Ernie Banks fills in for the last few innings, technically becoming the ML's first black manager. Cubs Bob Locker pitches in his 500th game: all have been in relief, a ML record.
For the second time in his career, Pirate Willie Stargell poles one out of Dodger Stadium . His blast off Andy Messersmith hits the RF pavilion roof 470 feet away. His first home run, a 506-foot shot, came off Alan Foster on August 5, 1969 . No other player has hit one out of the stadium. LA wins, 7–4.
In a 9–7 losing effort against the Giants, Cardinals ace Bob Gibson makes his 242nd consecutive start. It is a new 20th century record passing that of Red Ruffing , who never pitched in relief the last 10 years of his career.
Former P Ralph Miller dies in Cincinnati at age 100. Miller was the last survivor of 19th-century ball, and the first former ML player to reach the century mark.
