We have ties in both divisions. In the NL the Dodgers and Giants are deadlocked at 20-16 while in the AL the Indians and Yankees currently at 24-12 are still in a dead heat now for two weeks in a row. Things are close at the top in both divisions. The Giants lead the NL by one game over the Dodgers and in the AL the Indians and Yankees are in a dead heat.
INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS
Eddie Robinson of the White Sox is still running a blistering pace batting .358 but Duke Snider of the Dodgers is right behind at .354. Robin Roberts of the Braves lost his ERA leadership to Mel Parnell of the Red Sox 2.12 to 1.54. Larry Doby of the Indians inched ahead of Yogi Berra of the Yankees in the home run lead by one 12 to 11 with Luke Easter closing the gap at 10. We now have four pitchers tied with five wins, Mike Garcia and Russ Meyer of the Indians (not to be confused with Russ Meyer of the... never mind), Jim Hearn of the Giants, and Stu Miller of the Yankees. The Dodgers put a halt to Miller's scoreless inning streak at 23 when Pee Wee Reese knocked in Jackie Robinson with a 1st inning double. Miller settled down and 4-hit the Bums the next seven innings and with the assistance of Al Benton's 5th save beat Brooklyn 3-1.
