60 YEARS AGO/126: O'DELL GOES TO HELL; ROEBUCK IS HEROIC IN RELIEF

The Milwaukee Braves drove Giants' lefties Billy O'Dell and Bob Garibaldi from the mound on 8/29 with nine unanswered runs in the second through fourth innings as SF fell back a game in the NL standings. Hank Aaron and future Dodger star Lou Johnson each hit homers for the Braves. The Giants' lone bright spots: homers from Orlando Cepeda and pinch-hitter Bob Nieman. It was too little, too late. Final score: Braves 10, Giants 3.

Joey Jay went 12 2/3 IP for the Reds vs. the Dodgers, but three LA pitchers (Don Drysdale, Ron Perranoski, and Ed Roebuck) matched him pitch-for-pitch. Duke Snider's triple with two out in the ninth got the Dodgers even, and Roebuck went four scoreless innings before Johnny Roseboro singled home the winning run in the thirteenth inning. Roebuck got the win, improving his season record to 9-0. Final score: Dodgers 2, Reds 1 (13 innings).
