ord in his chase to break
the Babe’s mark of 60.
Maris has 53 homers and must
hit eight in the next 19 games if
he is to break the record.
But while all the attention was
riveted on Mantle and Maris, the
key hit of the game was a tower-
ing homer by Elston Howard, who
nailed down the decision with a
ninth inning homer with two on.
after Mantle had tied it with his
second blast.
The Tigers had trailed right
from the first inning until they
went ahead in the ninth with two
runs on two hits and an error by
Moose Skowron as relief pitcher
Luis Arroyo shuffled a toes over
to first base.
That set the stage for the Yank-
ee rally. Ancient Gerry Staley
came in to pitch for the Tigers.
With one ball on Mantle, Mickey
clouted Staley’s next pitch into
the right field bleachers to tie it
at 5-all.
Then Yogi Berra looped a sin-
gle into right field and that fin-
ished Stalev.
Ronnie Kline became the fifth
Tiger pitcher. Arroyo sacrificed
Berra to second, then Kline pur-
posely passed Moose Skowron to
set up a possible doubleplay.
Up came Howard. With one
strike on him, he clouted the next
pitch into the lower left field

gers’ chances of overtaking them
in the race for the American
League pennant.
The Tigers' ninth was a weird
one. Bill Stafford and Arroyo, who
had taken over in the eighth, had
the Bengals pretty well hand-
cuffed.
Dick McAuliffe opened by draw-
ing a pass from Arroyo. Chico
Fernandez was called out on
strikes. Then Dick Brown dribbled
a grounder to the right side.
Arroyo scooped it up, but his
throw went past Skowron at first,
putting McAuliffe on third and
Brown on second. It was an error
for Skowron.
Pinch hitter Bubba Morton was
purposely passed filling the bases.
Jake Wood then singled to left,
scoring McAuliffe and Rene Ber-
toia, who was running for Brown.
That put the Tigers in front 5-4
until the Yanks opened up again.
The Tigers scored a run in the
first. Wood singled but Billy Bru-
ton forced him. Bruton stole sec-
ond and scored on Rocky Cola-
vita’s single.
But the Yanks came right back
and scored three runs. Maris sin-
gled and scored in front of Man-
tle’s No. 49 homer. Mantle, inci-

The Tigers got that one back in

to one run in the eighth when Bru-
ton and Al Kaline singled and
Colavito hit into a doubleplay.
Bruton sneaked home on the play.
Now that Mantle has reached
the 50-homer "mark, the Yanks
have produced another slugging
record. It is the first time two
players on one team—Mantle and
Maris-have hit 50 or more home
runs in one season.
Further, Maris and Mantle are
only four homers off the all-time
two-man record of 107, set by
Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1927.
Arroyo was the winning pitcher,
thanks,to Mantle and Howard.
The latter had struck out as a
pinch hitter in the seventh. The
win was Arroyo's 11h in a row.
He also has seven saves along the
way. The last time be lost a game
was on June 19 to Kansas City.
A crowd of 55,676 was on hand,
boosting the three-day total to
171,503.

Pirates Top
Cards by 8-1
ST. LOUIS (API-Steady pitch-
ing by Bob Friend and an early
attack powered by Don Hoak and
Roberto Clemente gave the Pitts-
burgh Pirates an 8-1 victory over
the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday.
Hoak, whose bases-loaded dou-
ble was the big blow of a three-
run first inning, and Clemente,
who hit his 23rd home run with a
man on base in the four-run sec-
ond, helped Friend to a 7-0 lead
and he then had little trouble
turning back the Redbirds.
Bill Virdon hit a solo homer, his
ninth, in the fifth inning.
Friend <13-17' allowed 11 hits
but bore down when it counted. He
eased out of the second without
a score despite Stan Musial's dou-
ble and Carl Sawatski's single.
The Cards' only run scored in the
third, an inning the Redbirds
opened with three straight singles,
on a double play.
