Braves Baseball Blog

August 7, 1957 at County Stadium
Braves 12, Reds 2  (64-42)

The Braves piled on the runs in their third straight win behind some outstanding hitting by Wes Covington.  He homered twice, drew a walk, drove in four and scored four as he was a one man wrecking crew at the plate.  Red Schoendienst also had a nice game and he went three for six with three RBIs and a run.

Gene Conley cruised to an easy win with all of the run support and he improved to 7-5 on the season.  He gave up two runs on seven hits and five walks with four strikeouts in the complete game win.
