Eeyore Meyers gets the Series started with a stunning upset win over 28-game winner Fred Fleming. The Yanks never trailed in this one, getting all the scoring they needed off of a first-inning single by rookie and Bronx native 1B Michael Taylor. Meyers, who last pitched in the Series for the Dodgers in 1927, improved to 3-0 in the postseason with 21 Ks in 25 career WS innings. This was Fleming's first postseason appearance.
