It took seven games -- and extra innings in that finale -- but the heavily favored Dodgers held off the underdog White Sox.
The Dodgers battered Sloppy Thurston for six runs in the first inning of the opener at Chavez Ravine, with Logan Forsythe driving the White Sox workhorse from the hill with a three-run homer. But Clayton Kershaw couldn't hold that lead as the Sox scored eight times in the fifth, with Willie Kamm and Bill Barrett hitting back-to-back homers. The Chicago bullpen allowed three runs in 8.6 innings.
Los Angeles repeated the first-inning hit fest in Game Two, plating five tallies off Ted Lyons without benefit of an extra base hit. Alex Wood didn't repeat Kershaw's collapse, although he did surrender a pair of runs in the fourth and left the bases loaded. Wood went six innings, allowing five hits, for the win.
The series shifted to Comiskey Park and 1924 for Game Three, and Red Fazber continued his scintillating tournament. The spitballer went eight innings, allowing one run on three hits, and carried a no-hitter into the sixth. Earl Sheely had five RBIs for Chicago with a pair of doubles, and Harry Hooper scored three times. Johnny Mostil capped the scoring with a three-run homer.
The Dodgers again evened the series in Game Four with a late-inning comeback. Thurston carried a 3-2 lead into the eighth, but Cody Bellinger tripled in the tying run and scored the go-ahead run on a sac fly. The Dodgers beat up on a weary Thornton in the ninth and did even more damage when Leo Magnum relieved. Curtis Granderson hit a grand slam off Magnum to cap the nine-run outburst.
Lyons got the ball for Game Five after his abbreviated start in Game 2 and threw a gem, scattering seven hits and holding the Dodgers scoreless. Sheely and Barrett each homered in the fourth off Kershaw to tag the Dodger ace with another loss.
The Dodger limped back home facing elimination, but Wood and Corey Seager came through in Game Six. Seager hit a three-run homer to cap a four-run fourth, and Wood again allowed just two runs in six frames.
That set up Game Seven. Thornton allowed a run in the first on a Seager triple and Bellinger single, and the Sox tied it in the third on Mostil's successful squeeze bunt. Barrett singled home the go-ahead run for the Sox in the sixth, and Thornton held that lead until Granderson doubled in Puig from first in the eighth. The Grandy Man came through one more time in the 10th. After Thornton got the first two hitters, Yasmani Grandal singled and Granderson followed with the series-clinching homer.
Player of the series: Curtis Granderson
The Dodger bullpen will be rested for the fourth round.
Projected rotation: Kershaw-Hill-Maeda-McCarthy-(Kershaw)-(Hill)-(Maeda)
