Getting an impressive start from Joe Cipolla, Chicago beat Pittsburgh by the score of 5-2. Cipolla, who finished 2nd in the FA in wins with 16 last year, went the distance for Chicago. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. The 4th-place Chiefs sport a record of 51-42.

Chicago used the clutch hitting of Al Padgett to snag the win. The catcher drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Chiefs ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"Joe kept his poise and got the job done," said Chicago manager Dutch Becker. "He was outstanding."
