RESULTS: ROUND 1 - REGION 4:

5) 1904 New York Giants vs. 12) 2015 Toronto Blue Jays

Game 1’s pitching matchup features David Price vs. Christy Mathewson and they did not disappoint. Two run scoring singles was all Mathewson needed for a 2-0 win and he struck out 15 in 8 innings.

Game 2 saw Toronto jump to a 6-0 lead against NY hurler Joe McGinnity. R.A. Dickey pitched well enough to snuff out any comeback attempts and Donaldson and Encarnacion had three RBIs each in the 7-5 final.

As the series switched to Toronto and the DH comes into play you may have thought it benefitted Toronto, but it was the Giants who put up 13 runs in the 13-3 lopsided victory. Roger Bresnahan and Billy Gilbert had 4 RBIs each, and starter Dummy Taylor went seven strong innings.

The Giants are using a three man rotation so Mathewson is back on the hill, opposed by Marco Estrada. Encarnacion hit a 2-run double in the first, and Estrada struck out nine over five innings. The Blue Jays bullpen was masterful, and they tied the series with a 4-2 victory.

The “other” ace of the Giants staff, Joe McGinnity, would try to shake off his uncharacteristic poor outing in game 2 and put the Giants in control. But it was David Price that really showed up and, backed by seven extra base hits, won 7-2 to move the Jays to within one game of the series victory.

In Game 6 Dummy Taylor was not up to the task but R.A. Dickey was, going seven shutout. The Jays got just enough offense in a 3-1 win and take the series in six. Another highly rated deadball team bites the dust.

Series MVP was Edwin Encarnacion (who was forced to play 1b in NY) hitting .375, slugging 1.000, and smacking five home runs!
