NATIONAL LEAGUE

PITTSBURGH UPS NL LEAD TO 2 GAMES OVER GIANTS AND CARDS

The Pirates Ray Kremer (12-5 3.43) almost had a perfect game in stopping the Brooklyn Dodgers and super southpaw Sandy Koufax 6-1 at Forbes Field. Only Jackie Robinson spoiled it with a walk in the fourth inning. He stole second, went to third on a ground out and scored on a wild pitch. Other than that lapse, Kremer was perfect, hurling his second career no-hitter. He also held St. Louis hitless in 1902. Pittsburgh has won four straight and the Dodgers have lost four straight. Koufax is now 16-6 with a 2.39 ERA. The triumph enabled the Pirates to expand their National League to two games over St. Louis and New York, who both lost.

The Giants and Juan Marichal (12-10 3.48) fell to the last place Cincinnati Reds 6-4 as Eppa Rixey (7-7 3.28) and Rob Dibble (13th save) combined for the victory.

Boston's Warren Spahn (9-13 3.23) scattered nine hits in whipping the Cardinals 4-3. The Braves remained five games behind the Pirates in sixth place. Bob Horner's (.324) RBI-single won it in the bottom of the ninth.

The fifth place Philadelphia Phils continued their winning ways with a 5-2 win over the fourth place Cubs. A four-run eighth sent Moe Brown (12-8 2.97) and the Bruins down to defeat. Rookie Ed Delehanty (.330) singled in two runs to break a 2-2 tie. Relievers Jiro Noguchi (4-4 4.62) and Curt Schilling (8th save) held Chicago scoreless over the last five frames. The Cubs dropped another game behind the Bucs and are now 2.5 games out.
