Don Sutton reeled off a total of 10 strikeouts as the Los Angeles Dodgers
outscored the Detroit Tigers 9 to 5.
 
Sutton(2-0) pitched a fine game.  He went 9 innings allowing 8 hits and 6
walks and was touched for 2 homeruns.  Los Angeles finished with 14 hits in
the victory.  
 
The losing pitcher was Mickey Lolich(0-2).  Los Angeles knocked him around a
bit, as he gave up 4 runs in 3 innings.  Sutton, when asked about his 10
strikeout performance noted, 'The important thing is that we won, if I get 20
and we lose, what good does it do our team? But, on the other hand, since we
won it feels great!'

1966 World Series Game 4

October 9, 1966

It was quite a wild ending to game 4 of the 1966 World Series. LA pitcher Claude Osteen was on cruise control until the bottom of the 8th inning. The Dodgers were leading 2-0 when the Tigers finally broke through against Osteen. Before the inning was over, Detroit had a 3-2 lead heading into the 9th. Tiger closer Larry Sherry came on to pitch in search of his 3rd save of the Series. But after getting the first two outs of the inning, Sherry was unable to get the final out. Los Angeles came roaring back, scoring 3 runs to take a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the 9th. Dodger closer Phil Regan came on in relief and preserved the victory. The Series is now tied up at 2 games apiece.

WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Bill Freehan blocked the plate, saving a run!
 
The Los Angeles Dodgers came roaring back in the top of the ninth to spoil the
anticipated celebration of the hometown fans.  The final score,, was 5 to
3.
 
Los Angeles scored the winning runs in the top of the 9th inning with 3 runs
on 3 base hits.  After two outs Jim Barbieri began the rally when he drew a
walk.  Al Ferrara followed next and he doubled.  Willie Davis then laced a
single.  Jim Lefebvre was up next and he drew a walk.  Lou Johnson stepped
into the box and doubled.  Los Angeles totaled 9 hits on the afternoon.
 
Jim Brewer(1-0) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the win. Brewer was
helped out by Phil Regan who recorded his 1st save.  Larry Sherry(0-1)
suffered the loss in relief.  
 
Walter Alston was feeling mighty fine as he answered questions in his office
after the game, 'Now that was one fine ending! Did you see how the crowd just
sat there in silence after the winning run scored? Here we are celebrating
wildly, and the stadium is cloaked in virtual silence.  Weird. but GREAT!'

1966 World Series Game 3

October 8, 1966

The Detroit Tiger's big bats showed up in today's game as they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3. Detroit hit 3 homeruns off LA starter Don Drysdale, accounting for all 5 runs the Tigers scored. 2nd baseman Dick McAuliffe led off the game for Detroit with a blast into the rightfield seats. In the 3rd inning, Al Kaline and Willie Horton got their first hits of the series with both of them hitting 2 run homers. Tiger starter Denny McLain allowed solo shots to Drysdale and Lou Johnson, but otherwise pitched a good game until the 9th inning. The first two Dodger batters got on base and Larry Sherry came on in relief. He allowed a run to score before getting the final out and picking up his 2nd save.

1966 World Series Game 2

October 6, 1966

 The Detroit Tigers scored 2 times in the 1st inning, added 2 in the 7th, and held on to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 in Game 2 of the 1966 World Series. Dodgers starter Sandy Koufax was the victim of 3 errors and only allowed 1 earned run in the game. Earl Wilson pitched well enough for Detroit, but got into a jam with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th. The Dodgers had two men on base with the tieing run at the plate, but Larry Sherry came on in relief and got the last out of the game. The Series is now tied at 1 game apiece and heads back to Detroit for the next 3 games.
