May 14, 1957: Big early season series with Brooklyn starts with 3-2 win. Two runs in the first and one in the sixth were enough for Bob Buhl.
May 15, 1957: Brooklyn tops Braves 3-2 in extra innings. Frank Torre gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with a two-run double in the sixth. Dodgers rallied with one in the seventh and one in the eighth. Dodgers scored game winner in the top of tenth on a Don Zimmer homer?
May 16, 1957: Pirates win 2-1 behind Bob Friend's pitching. Eddie Matthews hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning for the only Milwaukee run.
May 17, 1957: Braves and Pirates did not play. Rained out, I think.
