Stan Musial was held in check, going 0-4 with a walk.
Staley’s worst inning was the first. Two walks and a double by Ed Stevens led to the Pirates lone run. After that, he settled into a nice groove.
Loser Vic Lombardi(3-4) despite striking out seven, struggled in every inning. Hal Greer was ineffective in relief, allowing three runs in two innings.
