After throwing a pair of complete games for Detroit in the 1968 World Series, Mickey Lolich remembered Detroit manager Mayo Smith turning to him during the Tigers' 10-run third inning in Game 6. Lolich pitched a five-hitter, throwing shutout ball into the ninth inning to beat Bob Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1. Just nine pitchers have won three starts in a single Series, none since Lolich went 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA and 21 strikeouts while pitching three complete games in 1968.
