The victory was credited to Don Mossi(3-3) who went 1 and 1/3 innings, allowing 1 run. Mossi got relief help from Ray Narleski who gained credit for his 12th save.

Virgil Trucks(5-4) got the win allowing no runs in 7 innings. Trucks was helped out by Ray Narleski who recorded his 13th save. Bob Turley(8-2) was charged with the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 10 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings. 'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' New York AL's manager said after the game.
