Paul Brower made an impact in the 15-1 New York win over Baltimore. Brower, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1963 draft, was 2-5 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 5. The win gives New York a season record of 24-16.

New York used the hitting of Dave Matuzak to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Empires on top, 3-0. For the game, Matuzak had 1 home run and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

Baltimore manager Steve Read summed up his team's performance in one word: "Godawful."
