The Giants suddenly found themselves in the hole, a position they hadn't been in all season long. No worry, they thought, for today they'd be using their real ace, 2nd year man John Burns.

What happened to the high-octane offense? The Giants have now scored just 2 runs in the Series, yet are tied up thanks to a costly error by SS Mike Kennedy. As we, if not the experts, expected, this has turned out to be quite an interesting Series. The Yankees, believe it or not, now have the upper hand going back to their home park. If they can somehow win all their home games, we won't even come back to the Polo Grounds to play again.
