Yankee pitcher Eddie Lopat aided his own cause with an RBI double, and the advantage ballooned to 6-0 after a bases-loaded Bobby Brown triple scored three more in the fifth off Joe Hatten. Lopat pitched five scoreless innings before allowing two leadoff singles in the sixth. After a double play moved Pee Wee Reese to third, Jackie Robinson's RBI single put the Dodgers on the board.

The Dodgers got a run in the bottom half on Gene Hermanski's RBI single after a double and walk.
