Both teams were cold for the first 3 innings. In the bottom 4th, LA scored on a 3-run shot by Baker (1).

Both pitchers went the distance, as Gullett pitched well for those 8 innings – but Reuss pitched better with a 4-hit shutout. LA wins 4-0.

In Game 3, LA had Welch going – and he would face Kirby. Also, LA rested a few of their starters for this game. Cincy struck first with a 2-run shot from Bench (1) and another solo shot from Geronimo (1) – for quick 3-0 lead. The backups for LA struggled until the 6th, when they managed a run with some scattered hits. Cincy countered in the 6th with another solo shot from Morgan (1). Cincy now led 4-1 after 6. LA scored 2 in the top 7th – with the help of a wild pitch from Kirby – but that was as close as they would get. Cincy held for a 4-3 win, as Kirby went the distance. In Game 4, Cincy looked to even the series – as Norman squared off 
against Stewart (LA). LA decided to keep a few bench players in to rest their starters even further. Cincy scored first in the bottom 2nd off a Single from Foster. However, that is all Cincy could muster against Stewart. Norman held his own for 8.2 innings, but LA did score a run in the top 7th off a solo shot from Marshall (1). Stewart pitched 7 solid innings giving up only 3 hits and that one run. LA then used Forster and Niedenfuer to hold the 8th and 9th, respectively. With the score tied 1-1, we were now heading into Xtra innings folks. LA did not waste any time as they got to Borbon early with a 2-run shot from Baker (2). Niedenfuer held his part in the 10th and Howe came in for his first Save. LA wins 3-1.
