Bottom of the bracket:
Another 50/50 split between high and low seeds. 2 more series to the 7th game.
1360) 1957 Phillies over 1167) 2012 Brewers 4-0 = Harry Anderson .467 (7-15) 2-4
1359) 1944 Red Sox over 1168) 2014 Blue Jays 4-1 = Bobby Doerr .438 (7-16) 7 rbi
Marcus Stroman was roughed up in both of his starts, only lasting 3.2 innings combined and allowing 10 runs (a nasty 24.55 ERA!)
1169) 2015 Twins over 1358) 1941 White Sox 4-1 = Joe Mauer .444 (8-18) 2-3
1170) 2015 Nationals over 1357) 1912 White Sox 4-1 = Clint Robinson .278 (5-18) 2-8
1171) 2017 Cardinals over 1356) 1980 Indians 4-3 = Paul DeJong .357 (10-28) 5-12
All games won by home team. First 6 games all decisions went to relievers. Len Barker had 2 abbreviated starts (66 minute rain delay in the 5th inning of game 1, pulled after 5 innings and 102 pitches in game 5) but had 17 strikeouts over the 9 innings he did pitch.
1355) 2018 Phillies over 1172) 1919 Pirates 4-3 = Wilson Ramos .455 (15-33) 5 rbi
Another series played even closer than a 4-3 matchup indicates, as games 1 and 4 went 12 innings (each team got 1) and game 6 was a walkoff winner for Pittsburgh. Roman Quinn drove in 9 for the Phillies.
