Next inning, Gene Woodling hit a leadoff double and scored on two groundouts. In the sixth, after a walk and single off Carl Erskine, Yogi Berra’s sacrifice fly made it 8–1 Yankees, then after a pop out, a Brown’s RBI triple aided by an error that allowed Brown himself to score extended their lead to 10–1. The Dodgers got a run in the bottom half on Gene Hermanski’s RBI single after a double and walk.
