Led by Roberto Clemente, who rapped four hits including a triple and inside-the-park homer, the Pirates defeated the Reds, 6-1, and moved into first place in the East division ahead of the Mets. Clemente got his homer in the third inning on a drive that struck high on the wall in center field and bounced past center fielder Buddy Bradford. [The Sporting News]
