Richie Hebner homered with a man on base in the first inning and wound up the scoring with a solo swat in the eighth to complete the Pirates' 10-5 victory over the Cardinals. Gene Clines also drove in three runs for the Pirates with a pair of singles.

In the fourth, Clines came up with the bases loaded and cracked a two-run single that wound up in a double play. Clines, trying to advance on his hit, was thrown out at second and Vic Davalillo, who overran third, was caught trying to return to the bag. [The Sporting News]
