The Tigers held the Robins to nine runs in the four games.

Rocky Colavito got the Tigers off to a rousing start in the Tiger Stadium opener with a three-run homer off Burleigh Grimes. He doubled in another run in the third inning and hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Frank Lary allowed two runs on five hits in eight innings for the win.

Jim Bunning and Dazzy Vance lived up to their Hall of Fame resumes in Game Two. Dick Brown's fifth inning homer off Vance was the only tally of the game. Bunning, pitching on short rest, went seven innings, allowing three hits. Terry Fox worked the final two innings, allowing one single but getting a double play to face the minimum.

The series shifted to 1924 and Ebbets Field for Game Three. Detroit scored the first three runs in the fourth inning, with Mike Roarke doubling in two of them. Dick McAuliffe, who entered the game when Steve Boros was injured, drove in five runs on two homers and a single, and Norm Cash had four RBIs on a homer and double.

Brooklyn got its only lead of the series on Jack Fournier's three-run homer in the sixth inning of Game Four.But the Tigers got three of their own in the eighth, with RBIs by pinch-hitter Charlie Maxwell, Al Kaline and Cash. Detroit relievers Hank Aguirre, Gerry Staley and Fox faced just nine hitters over the final three innings, with Aguirre credited with the win.

Player of the Series: Rocky Colavito

Detroit's pitchers will be fully rested for Round Four.

The series opened with a slug fest, but the pitchers dominated the rest of the way, and Dazzy Vance dazzled again.

The Giants opened the series in Ebbets Field by lambasting Burleigh Grimes for 10 runs in three-plus innings, three of them unearned. Every one of San Francisco's starters scored at least once, and Orlando Cepeda scored three times. The Giants picked up 19 hits, including four doubles, one triple and one homer. Tommy Griffith scored three times for Brooklyn. Winner Jack Sanford was pulled after three of the first four men in the seventh to reach.

The Robins even the series behind a strong start from Dutch Ruether, who didn't allow a hit until Jose Pagan tripled to open the sixth inning (and advanced no further). Bill Doak entered in the ninth with two on, a run in and no outs and escaped the jam.

The series shifted to San Francisco and Candlestick Park for the next three games. Willie Mays homered in Game Three's first inning, but Vance allowed just one other hit in his complete game win. The Robins got seven hits off Juan Marichal and converted the two extra base hits -- a double by Griffith and a triple by Zach Wheat -- into runs.

The Giants went early long ball again in Game Four, with Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda hitting back-to-back homers in the first off Grimes. But as with Vance in the previous game, Old Stubblebeard kept the Giants off the scoreboard the rest of the way, scattering five hits in the next eight innings. The Robins scored a run off Toothpick Sam Jones in the seventh to chase him, then peppered Billy Loes for two runs on four hits in the eighth to take the lead, which Grimes held onto despite Ed Bailey's leadoff double in the ninth.

Sanford got the ball facing elimination in Game Five and came though for the Giants despite surrendering a homer to Jack Fournier. HarveyKuenn walked twice, stole a base off Bill Doak and scored twice, the second time on Mays' tie-breaking homer. Stu Miller gave up a ninth-inning homer to Fournier but no further damage and got the save.

That sent the series back to Brooklyn for Game Six. Vance threw the Robins' fourth straight complete game. He wasn't as overwhelming as in his Game Two two-hitter, but the Giants couldn't score on him despite loading the bases in the first and getting a pair of doubles from Mays. Brooklyn scored single runs in four separate innings off Mike McCormick.

One strong arm -- Dazzy Vance -- and one weak arm -- Eddie "Glass Arm" Brown -- lifted the Dodgers to a narrow series win.

The opener in Brooklyn went to the Robins as Vance didn't allow a baserunner until the fourth and ended up with a six-hitter and eight strikeouts. The Robins scored a pair of runs in the first inning off Jacob deGrom, who wild-pitched one run in and walked in the other.

The Mets evened the series by plated three unearned runs in the seventh inning off Burleigh Grimes. Brandon Nimmo doubled home two runs to put the Mets ahead. Seth Lugo went six innings for the win, and four relievers split up the final three frames for the Mets.

The series moved to Citi Field in Queens for Game Three. The Mets roughed up Dutch Ruether for five runs in five innings, bopping three doubles and a pair of triples in the process. Brown hit a pair of homers for the Robins, one of which drove winner Robert Gsellman from the mound in the sixth inning.

Vance threw another complete game to even the series in Game Four, this one a five-hitter. The Robins battered Matt Harvey for five runs in four-plus innings, including a homer from Brown.

The Mets took Game Five behind deGrom, who allowed four hits and one run in eight innings. Wimer Flores broke a 1-1 deadlock in the bottom of the eighth with a grand slam off Grimes.

The series returned to 1924 and Ebbets Field for Game Six. Rube Ehrhardt dueled with Lugo and the Mets bullpen for nine innings. The Robins led 2-1 going into the eighth, with Brown hitting his fourth homer of the series, but Brown's error allowed Yoenis Cespedes to score the tying run. Bill Doak relieved in the 10th and picked up the win when Andy High singled home Milt Stock in the bottom of the inning.

Vance overpowered the Mets again in Game Seven, tossing his third complete game of the series -- four hits, 10 strikeouts. Tommy Griffith hit a base-loaded triple for the home team and drove in two more with a single and Zach Wheat scored three times as the Robins routed Gsellman and five relievers.

Player of the Series: Dazzy Vance

Player availability: Ehrhardt cannot pitch until Game Three.
