Washington scored 30 runs in the six games while allowing 15, and its bullpen allowed one unearned run in 12 innings.

The Senators needed no bullpen in the first game, played in Washington. Walter Johnson threw a four-hitter, allowing a homer to Roy Sievers in the fifth and an unearned tally in the ninth. Washington had a four-run lead before the White Sox had base runner. Ossie Bluege drove in four runs, two on a triple in the seventh. Goose Goslin scored three times, and Joe Judge went 4-for-4.

Early Wynn evened the series with a four-hit shutout in Game Two. He walked two and fanned three. Chicago racked George Mogridge for five runs on nine hits in three innings. Luis Aparico doubled twice, scored twice and went 4-for-5. Sievers went 3-for-5 with two runs scored.

The series shifted to 1961 and Comiskey Park. Tom Zachary blanked the Sox for eight innings, and Fred Marberry completed the shutout in Game Three. Judge singled, stole a base, scored a run and drove in a run for the Senators.

Game Four was an utter rout. Johnson allowed one earned run (and two unearned) in six innings before giving way to Slim McGrew and Paul Zahniser. Judge hit a pair of homers and drove in eight runs. He also had two singles and a double and scored three times. Earl McNeely was 5-for-6 with four runs scored. Johnson drove in three runs himself.

Bluege hit a two-run homer off Ray Herbert in the top of the eighth to put Washington up for good in Game Five. Marberry started for Washington and got the win with seven innings of three-run, six-hit ball; By Speece allowed one single in two innings but faced the minimum of six hitters for the save that wrapped up the series. Bluege was 3-for-4 and Nemo Leibold scored twice for Washington.

Player of the Series: Joe Judge

Staff will be fully rested for the third round

The White Sox were outscored by the Blue Jays but won the three closest games of the series to advance.

The Jays flew off to the early advantage, scoring five times in the first three innings of the opener off Billy Pierce. The White Sox tied it in the fourth, only to see the Jays rock reliever Cal McLish for four more runs and a lead they would not relinquish.

The Sox evened the series in the second game as Juan Pizzaro held the Jays to five hits and one run in eight innings. He was backed by long balls from Roy Sievers, Floyd Robinson and Al Smith.

The series moved to Toronto and the retractable roofed Rogers Center. Jose Bautista's third inning homer put the Jays up 3-1, but that was the end of their scoring off Ray Herbert and Don Larsen. The Jays turned three straight singles to open the seventh into a pair of runs, and the action was minimal until Smith homered in the 11th off Danny Barnes. Larsen retired all six men he faced in the 10th and 11th innings for the win.

The Sox pummeled Aaron Sanchez for six runs in the third inning of Game Four, with Sievers clubbing a three-run bomb. Early Wynn survived a fifth-inning bat-around to get the win. Russell Martin homered twice for the losers, the second part of a back-to-back salvo with Kevin Pillar.

Marcus Stroman kept the Jays alive with a four-hit shutout in Game Five. Steve Pearce's three-run homer in the first knocked Billy Pierce out of the game, with McLish eating six innings in relief.

The series returned to Chicago's Comiskey Park, and the Jays again beat up a lefty starter in the first inning. This time it was Juan Pizzaro, dinged for four runs in the opening frame, including a two-run homer from Josh Donaldson. Pizzaro settled down and the Jays pulled within a run after six innings, but the Jays scored three times in the eight and ninth innings to pull away.

Pierce, after his early departure in Game Five, started Game Seven on two days rest for Chicago and allowed just one run in six innings, a homer by Donaldson. The Sox knocked J.A. Happ out with a four-run first inning, and while they got just one run the rest of the way off the Jays relievers, that was barely enough. The Jays scored three runs in the top of the ninth with Bautista hitting a two-run homer off Turk Lown, but it was not enough.

Player of the Series: Al Smith

Pitcher restrictions: Russ Kemmerer should not pitch more than one inning in the opener of Round 2.

Projected rotation: Herbert-Wynn-Pizzaro-Pierce-(Herbert)-(Wynn or McLish)-(Pizzaro)
