St. Louis ace [b:dde45e9893]Danny Cox[/b:dde45e9893] and New York's prized midseason acquisition [b:dde45e9893]Andy McGaffigan[/b:dde45e9893] went toe-to-toe and belly-to-belly in Game 1 of the 1986 World Series, and it was a duel for the ages. Tommy Herr scored the only run in the game on a sac fly off of Jose Oquendo's bat, and Cox went the distance for the shutout as the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=2126][b:dde45e9893]Cardinals took Game 1 from the Yankees, 1-0[/b:dde45e9893][/url].

The Bronx Bombers' Major-League leading offense was limp all night, mustering only 5 singles and failing to advance any runner to scoring position off of Cox. McGaffigan was nearly as stingy, going 7 innings and giving up only 5 hits and 2 walks, only leaving in the 8th for a pinch-hitter.

Game 2 is right back here Sunday night, same bat time, same bat channel. Doug Drabek vs. John Tudor. [b:dde45e9893]BE THERE.[/b:dde45e9893]
