The Phillies recovered from being no-hit by the Braves for the second time in about a month by beating Milwaukee 5-2, dropping the Braves (81-62) into third place, 6½ games back.

Friday, September 16, 1960---Harvey Haddix (11-10) lasted only 2 innings as the Reds beat the Pirates (86-55) by a 4-3 score in Cincinnati. The Bucs scored a run in the second inning off Jim O’Toole (12-11) when Hoak drew a 2-out walk and scored when Mazeroski’s single was booted in CF for an error by Vada Pinson. But the Reds struck for 3 in the bottom half of the inning. Willie Jones singled to start the rally and Ed Bailey walked. After a sacrifice, Roy McMillan was intentionally walked. O’Toole forced Jones at the plate but Eddie Kasko cleared the bases with a double to give the Reds a 3-1 lead.

Thursday, September 15, 1960---The Pirates (86-54) got off to a quick start when Gino Cimoli led off the bottom of the first inning with a single and Bob Skinner followed with a 2-run HR (#15). That would be enough for Bob Friend (16-11) who held the Dodgers to 1 run on 6 hits as he pitched his 15th complete game. Ron Fairly’s triple drove in Junior Gilliam in the fourth inning for LA’s only run.

Wednesday, September 14, 1960---For the second straight day, the Pirates (85-54) lost while striking out 13 times. This time it was against Stan Williams and the Dodgers at Forbes Field. The 26 strikeouts against the Pirates in 2 games set an N.L. record. And for the third straight time, Vernon Law failed to get his 20th win. LA scored 2 in the fourth on a single by Maury Wills, a stolen base, a sacrifice by Junior Gilliam, singles by Wally Moon and Norm Larker and a ground out by Ron Fairly. In the fifth, another single by Wills ignited another 2-run rally as the Dodgers took a 4-0 lead.
