Yes, the game was a little different back then but three shutouts in one World Series remains a record. An unknown rookie when the World Series started, Adams tossed three complete-game wins, including an shutout in Game 7 over Ty Cobb's Tigers. Louis Cardinals -- stifling the Red Sox. Nicknamed "The Cat" for his quickness in fielding bunts, the left-hander wasn't big 5-foot but had a big screwball.
In Game 7, he entered with a lead and two runners on in the eighth and did give up a game-tying double, but he got Williams to pop out to end the inning.
When the Cardinals took the lead in the bottom of the inning, he got his third win as he escaped a jam in the ninth after the first two batters singled.
The right-hander was known for his spitball and never really denied the accusations. Burdette was the Braves' No. When Spahn came down with the flu before Game 7, Burdette drew the start on two days' rest.
In front of more than 60, at Yankee Stadium, he silenced the crowd with another seven-hit shutout, the first pitcher since Mathewson to toss two shutouts in one World Series. In a rematch of the World Series, he got knocked out in the first inning in Game 2 but bounced back to toss a shutout in Game 5, when the Yankees were down three games to one.
Game 6 went 10 innings and with the go-ahead runs on base, Turley came on to get the final out and the save though saves were not an official statistic until In Game 7, Don Larsen got knocked out in the third inning; Turley went the rest of the way and got the win when the Yankees broke open a tie with four runs in the eighth.
He was never the same pitcher after that. Koufax made headlines and became an ever bigger hero to Jewish fans when he decided to sit out Game 1 in observance of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for those of Jewish faith.
This meant Don Drysdale, and not Koufax, would be lined up to potentially start three times. Koufax actually lost Game 2 as he gave up two runs, one earned, in six innings. He pitched a four-hit shutout and struck out 10 in Game 5. As the story goes, manager Walter Alston didn't tell Drysdale or Koufax who would be starting Game 7.
ForTheH pic. While the rest of the inning ended quietly after an Ozzie Albies groundout on a dribbler to Alex Bregman , a groundout by Austin Riley to Carlos Correa , an Eddie Rosario walk and an Adam Duvall popup, the damage was done by the Braves. It didn't take long for Houston to start chipping away at Atlanta's lead.
Yordan Alvarez started Houston's half of the second inning by flying out to left field, but after a line-drive single by Yuli Gurriel to center field and a walk by Kyle Tucker , Astros third baseman Alex Bregman -- who entered Game 5 hitting 1-for in the World Series and dropped to seventh in the lineup -- doubled on a sharp line drive to centerfield on a Catcher Martin Maldonado followed up with a sacrifice fly to center field, which scored Tucker and brought the score to in Atlanta's favor.
Atlanta struck first. Following a leadoff single from Jorge Soler , a Freddie Freeman flyout, a fielder's choice by Ozzie Albies , a single by Austin Riley and a walk of Eddie Rosario , outfielder Adam Duvall hit a grand slam over the right field fence on a first-pitch In 55 games with Atlanta, Duvall hit.
Duvall's blast marks the third-ever first-inning grand slam in the World Series and the first since Braves players understood the assignment. Minter 's ode to country singer Alan Jackson and Jorge Soler 's cheetah onesie. The boys have arrived. They're feeling good.
