PIRATES-REDS SPLIT DOUBLEHEADER IN CINCINNATI

Ed Stevens belted a pair of triples, while Wally Westlake, Monty Basgall and starting pitcher, Bob Chesnes, each had two hits.
The Reds got their revenge in game two, thanks to a game winning home run by Lloyd Merriman in the bottom of the ninth, to give the Reds the 4-3 win.
Tiny Bonham(6-5) gave up the game winning clout. Ed Stevens homered for Pittsburgh, his (9th) of the year.
