For those who like low scoring, close pitcher's duels this series was for you. The Indians came out on top by taking 3 of the 4 games, but each team could have easily won all 4 or lost all 4 games.
GAME 1: Saw both Mike Garcia and Fernando Valenzuela go the distance. Garcia gave up only 1 run and Fernando gave up 3 to come up short. The offense centered around Al Rosen who knocked in all 3 of the Indians' runs. Rosen doubled home 2 runs in the first and hit a solo shot in the 6th with 2 out.
GAME 2: Cleveland was up 4-2 going into the 8th when the Dodgers' bats began to heat up. Hal Newhouse came in to close the game out and notch his 2nd save of the season. Both teams knocked out 9 hits in the one game of the series that had some decent offense.
GAME 3: Bob Lemon gave up 1 run and 4 hits in a complete game effort, where he outdueled Burt "Happy" Hooton of the Dodgers. The 6th inning saw Cleveland send 7 guys to the plate and
score 2 runs to answer back the Dodgers who had notched 1 in the top of the inning.
GAME 4: This extra inning afair (11) saw neither team able to score. The Dodgers scored both their runs on homers. Ron Cey hit a solo shot in the 5th and Pedro Guerrero won it with a deep fly in the top of the 11th off Don Mosi who had gone 3+ scoreless innings before that.
