Dodgers Win by Slim Margin, 6-5
The Brooklyn Dodgers stopped the New York Giants, 6-5, behind an impressive performance from Enos Slaughter. The two-time All-Star made life miserable for New York pitching. He was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The save was credited to George Caster, his 6th. The Giants, now 23-21, have lost 4 straight.

Slaughter contributed in the bottom of the second. With the bases loaded, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Brooklyn get the win.

"I like our moxie," said Dodgers manager Leo Durocher.
