Cardinals 5, Reds 3  (8-6)

The Cardinals came back to top the Reds and avoided their first sweep of the season.  The Reds had a 3-1 lead until the Cardinals tied it up in the seventh with two runs.  Then in the top of the ninth, Bob O’Farrell hit a two run homer to give the Cardinals the late lead and the win.

Jim Bottomley doubled and tripled in the Cards win.  He also scored one of the runs.  Les Bell had two singles and scored and Rogers Hornsby tripled and scored a run.
