WS Game 1: '02-BOS 3, '59-MKE 2

All tied going into the 8th when Manny hit his second of the day to put the Bosox up by 1. Buhl went 8 for the Braves and scattered 3 runs, but he did not get enough offensive support to win. Pedro finally got to the 7th and only gave up 2 runs, which came on a Hank Aaron 2 run shot in the 5th. Embree pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and Urbina came on in the 9th to close it out. Boston scored first when Trot Nixon hit into a fielder's choice to plate Johnny Damon who led off the game with a single. Pedro struck out 10 as he got to the 7th for the first time in weeks. Boston surprised everyone by not going with Lowe and putting their trust in Pedro.
