World Series G1: DC starts reliever Game 1 of World Series; loses 6-4

Slam Dumps 6, Chips 4
With a completely rested rotation, the DC Chips opted to start reliever Pascual Perez in game 1 for the 13th annual World Series. To the surprise of few, Perez struggled giving up 8 hits and 4 runs in three innings. Its sets up the DC rotation quite nicely for the rest of the series but one does wonder if it worth the sacrifice.

For the Slam Dumps, Randy Johnson struggled at times yielding 4 runs on 5 hits in 7 2/3 innings. Shortstop Robin Yount tripled and drove in two while Mickey Mantle singled in two of his own in the 4-run 4th that chased Perez.

Game 2 Probable Starters are the Slam Dumps Bill Bernhard (15-7, 3.38) vs DC's Bob Ojeda (15-6, 3.09).
