Fergie Jenkins, who was saved from ejection in the fourth inning by a new N. L, rule, was able to resume pitching for the Cubs and defeated the Giants, 6-5, for his 18th victory. Jenkins threw his batting helmet to the ground after striking out and was thumbed by umpire Ed Sudol. However, manager Leo Durocher reminded Sudol of the new rule that throwing a helmet does not call for a mandatory ejection but instead brings an automatic $100 fine.

Sudol reinstated Jenkins, bringing a squawk from manager Charlie Fox of the Giants, who completed the game under protest. Willie Mays singled and doubled for the Giants, bringing his career hit total to 3,153, good for seventh place on the all-time list ahead of Paul Waner. [The Sporting News]
