Launching their second west em invasion in fine style, the rip-roaring Dodgers exploded for six runs in the second inning while southpaw Johnny Fodres handcuffed the Redlegs on seven hits for his seventh triumph. Dukt Snider, who insists he'd rather hit in Crosley field than Ebbets field, capped the big six run rally with his 20th home run that drove in two team-mates ahead of him. Dodgers Gain Full Game The Dodgers gained a full game on the second-place Cubs who ran afoul of both Gail Har ris and Ruben Gomez in a 5-0 setback at the hands of the Giants. Harris, the rookie first baseman recently recalled from Minneapolis of the American Association, drove in three runs with his fourth homer in five games and a sacrifice fly while Gomez scattered eight hits for his third victory. ' Milwaukee, still clinging to a faint hope, like the Giants, licked Philadelphia, 4-2, but remained 15 games behind the pace-setting Dodgers. Eddie Mathews' 14th homer on the heels of a single by winning pitcher Lew Burdette proved the clincher in the eighth inning for Standings PACIFIC COAST LEAGUI W.

Loser Robin Roberts also was tagged for a two-run homer by rookie Chuck Tanner in the fourth while Granny Hamner homered for Philadel phia. The Pirates trampled the Cardinals, 10-5, despite a pair of homers by Wally Moon. An eight-run rally in the fourth in ning sewed up the game for the Pirates. Big Dale Long, who hit his fifth homer in the second in ning, highlighted the fourth frame with a double and a single that accounted for three runs. Ronnie Kline notched his fourth victory although he needed Bob Purkey's help when he loaded the bases with none out in the seventh. The Yankees remained 2V4 games ahead of the American League field with a 7-6 triumph over the Tigers in 10 innings. Mickey Mantle s single with two out in the 10th scored Joe Col lins with the winning run but most of the dramatics were crammed into the ninth when a pair of errors helped the Yankees score three runs to tie the score. Tigers Blow Lead Ned Garver had a 6-3 lead go ing into the ninth and didn't seem troubled even when Irv Noren hit his second homer of the game to cut the margin to 6-4. First baseman Ferris Fain then let Mantle's grounder go through him for a two-base error but Al Aber, who relieved Garver, re tired the next two batters and was only one out away from victory. Aber, however, then threw Andy Carey's little dribbler into Major Deals Not Likely By Deadline UNITED PRESS Big league bigwigs sat hope fully by the telephone today, but there appeared to be little chance that any major player deals would be made before the trading deadline strikes at mid night tonight. The Yankees would like De troit General Manager Muddy Ruel to ring that telephone bell and say "okay" on a deal for pitcher Ned Garver; the Indians were hoping the Orioles would part with Gene Woodling and Billy Cox; and the Giants still were looking for a catcher. But the odds were that none of these things would come to pass. The runaway Brooklyn Dodg ers, who seem to need help less than anybody, were the only ones to pick up a new player as the deadline approached. They obtained reserve outfielder Bob Borkowski from Cincinnati, but that was merely the completion of last week's deal that sent pitcher Joe Black to the Redlegs. Giants Want Burgess The Giants still may have a chance to land catcher Smokey Burgess from Cincinnati, for the Redlegs admit they're in a trad ing mood. The Giants really are hurting behind the plate because first string catcher Wes Westrum isn't hitting, and second-stringer Ray Katt isn't fielding or hitting. If Manager Leo Durocher is des perate enough, New York may decide to meet the reportedly stiff price Cincinnati is asking for Burgess. , But otherwise, things looked quiet on the baseball market as the clock hands moved toward midnight. From here in, they'll have to go with what they have, plus any help they can find on the farms. right field, Mantle scoring from third and Carey completing the circuit on the four-base error. George Zuverink came on in the 10th and was the loser while Tom Morgan gained credit for the victory. Saul Rogovin walked Sherm Lollar with the bases full to force in the only run of the game in the eighth inning and give the White Sox a 1-0 decision over the Orioles. Screwballer Jack Harshman gained the victory al though Sandy Consuegra came to his rescue in the ninth. The victory kept the White Sox a half-game ahead of the third place Indians, who swept a twi night twin-bill from the Sena tors. Dale Mitchell's pinch single in the 11th inning gave the Tribe a 6-4 victory in the opener after Ralph Kiner's ninth inning pinch homer tied the score at 4-all. Rookie Herb Score pitched a two hitter in the nightcap and was re warded with a 3-1 victory, his seventh, although he gave up 11 walks. The Indians snapped a 1 all tie in the fourth inning of the nightcap, going ahead for good on Vic Wertz' double and George Strickland's single. Mickey Mc Dermott was the loser. The Red Sox poured across eight runs in the third inning to rout the Athletics, 12-4, with Norm Zauchin, Jim Piersall and Ted Williams each homering for Boston. Frank Sullivan was the winner.
