On the blog today, we move on to Game 4 of the 1965 World Series, which was left out of the 1966 Topps set for some reason:
The
Los Angeles Dodgers came back to tie the Series up two games apiece
after the Twins stunned everyone, taking the first two games for a
commanding lead.
Thanks to pitcher Don Drysdale, who took the
Game 1 loss, the Dodgers won Game 4 7-2, with Drysdale throwing a
complete game, striking out 11 batters while walking two.
Wes
Parker and Lou Johnson hit solo homers for the Dodgers, while Ron Fairly
drove in three runs, giving Drysdale all the support he needed.
For
the Twins, opening game winner Jim "Mudcat" Grant took the loss, giving
up five runs in five innings, while Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva hit
homers in the losing cause.
Next up, game 5!
