Both teams had four-run innings, Cincy first took a 4-2 leas with their 4-run inning happening in the top of the third, while the Yankees broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the 6th, with a 4-run inning of their own. Reds momentarily tied it up in the top of the 8th at 8-8, until Lou Gehrig hit his 2nd two-run HR of the day during the bottom of the 8th. Gehrig finished up 4-for-5 with 5 RBI. Joe DiMaggio also had a two-run HR, with a 3 RBI day for him.

The Reds couldn't make it a 3-0 series lead, but got plenty from Johnny Bench (2-for-5), a three-run HR & a two-run HR for Pete Rose, who went 3-for-4, plus a walk.

WP- Gentry (3-2)
LP- Hooton (2-3)

Craig Gentry kept the Dodgers quiet by pitching an excellent one-hit, 8 inning outing, while the Mets didn't do much better, with Tommie Agee's two-run HR in the bottom of the fourth being the difference.

                         R   H   E
1998 Yankees  3    4    1
1906 Cubs        4    8    1   F

New York (15-8) / Chicago (16-7)

WP- Pfiester (3-1) / CG (2)
LP- Pettitte (3-2)

Harry Steinfeldt's two-run double in the bottom of the 5th put the Cubs ahead for good, as the Cubbies improve 16-7, while the Yankees fall to 15-8. The Yankees are still doing great, but have been playing more .500 ball of late, while the hot 1998 Padres & 1995 Indians each have won 5 straight games; Padres have yet to play their 23rd game & can be within a game of the division lead with a victory.
