Giants Kick Dodgers Loose
It took six games and some tight late drama but in the end the better team finish as the victors. The 1986 Giants showed their vulnrabilities in this series especially in their bullpen, but the won their third straight game at Candlestick Park 11-6 to win the series in 6.
Candy Maldonado hit a three run home run late, maybe the biggest blow of the series, to turn around another tight game. Chili Davis capped a good series with 3 RBI of his own and speedy Dan Gladden went 3-3 with 3 runs scored.
"It has been a bit frustrating" said Gladden who hit .346 in the series after the game "but we were due to have a break out like you saw tonight"
The Dodgers did impress many with their fighting spirit through the series but Boom Boom Beck again did more talking than pitching in the final game and the lack of a good arm in the pen collapsed in on them.
