The '57 Braves snapped their three game losing streak with a 1-0 win over the Reds at County Stadium on May 28.
Warren Spahn scattered eight hits over nine innings for the win. Don Gross pitched a much better game, but took the loss.
Gross walked Hank Aaron with two outs in the fourth inning. That was the only Milwaukee base runner until the bottom of the eighth. Bobby Thomson tripled to start the inning for the first Brave hit of the game. Frank Torre singled in Thomson for only run of the game.
Frank Robinson singled to start the top of the ninth. An error put another runner on base. Spahn got out of the game with a bad sacrifice bunt that forced Robinson at third and a double play ball.
