Bert Blyleven will remember this day for a while. Blyleven arguably had his best start of the season, earning his 10th win and shutting out New York to help the Splinters clinch the American League. Blyleven scattered 7 hits and struck out 8. New York’s Bob Feller kept it close until tiring in the later innings. Mule Suttles doubled in a run in the 4th, and Ichiro Suzuki followed with a solo home run in the 5th. Carlton Fisk added two more with his 11th homer of the season in the 7th. Frank Thomas led off the 8th with his 14th. Then, Feller loaded the bases before striking out Alan Trammell and Fisk. But Suzuki followed with an RBI single, and Nellie Fox drew a bases-loaded walk to put Boston up 7-0. Trammell added an RBI single off Red Faber in the 9th. Boston improved to 32-16, securing their spot in the World Series.
