9/17-9/18 - Dodger Stadium
GAME 1 - Braves 4, Dodgers 2
Koufax gives up only 4 hits. Too bad 2 of them were homers by Hank Aaron (9) and Wes Covington (6). LA's anemic offense could barely scratch out 2 runs. Koufax fans 13 and still loses by 2. Ron Fairly (.255) is the highest hitting regular in LA's lineup. Bob Buhl goes 8 1/3 and give sup only 2 unearned runs before Don McMahon comes along to get the final 2 outs and his 2nd save.
GAME 2 - Braves 3, Dodgers 2
Claude Osteen and Lew Burdette left the game tied at 2 after 7.
Don McMahon and Gene Conley faired better in relief than Bob Miller (0-4, 6.30), so the Braves wound up winning thanks to a throwing error by Maury Wills on a Hank Aaron grounder that allowed the bases to be loaded with 2 outs. Miller then uncorked a wild pitch and Red Schoendienst galloped home with the go ahead run.
9/19- County Stadium
GAME 3 - Braves 2, Dodgers 0
Warren Spahn, who spent year being victimized by the Brooklyn Dodgers was able to get an ounce of revenge today by styming the LA crew with a neat 5 hit shutout. Johnny Podres, who used to win these games vs the Braves back in the borough of churches was once again the victim of zero run support. Podres gave up 2 runs on solo shots by middle infielders Johnny Logan and Schoendienst, which provided all the offense Milwaukee would need. LA's team BA fell to .222 as this team has officially compiled less hits than Bo Donaldson and the Haywoods.
