The Wizards had a runner on 3rd with no outs in each of the first two innings, but Clemens struck out 2 each time to get out of the jam. After a Larry Walker 3-run home run in the 3rd, Clemens allowed just 1 hit over the next 4 innings. Meanwhile, the Detroit offense kept up the pressure against lefty Carl Hubbell, putting men in scoring position in every inning but the 7th against him. \u00c1lex Rodr\u00edguez was 3 for 5 with a solo shot, and the 7-8-9 hitters were 7 for 12. Dan Quisenberry pitched a perfect 8th, and Tom Henke followed with a perfect 9th to pick up the save. St. Louis came into the Series as heavy favorites, but the Rockets were the team in control today, despite a 3-5 record against left-handed starters during the regular season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=world-series-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Detroit @ St. Louis - 6\/3\/22 (Detroit leads the series 1-0)\">Detroit @ St. Louis &#8211; 6\/3\/22 (Detroit leads the Series 1-0)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The underdog Detroit Rockets showed the St. Louis Wizards why they were the best team in the American League, taking the 1st game of the World Series 4-3 on the road.
