1987 World Series Game 1, October 17, 1987, Metrodome,
Minneapolis, MN (Complete Game Broadcast) - Gladden slams a grand
slam, Viola pitches brilliantly, and the fan noise nearly blows the roof
off the place, as the Twins start the series off with a 10-1 victory.
1987 World Series Game 2, October 18, 1987, Metrodome
(Complete Game Broadcast) - The Twins jump all over Cardinals starter
Danny Cox for a 7-0 lead after four innings, en route to a Blyleven 8-4
victory and a 2-0 series lead.
1987 World Series Game 3, October 20, 1987, Busch Stadium,
St. Louis, MO (Complete Game Broadcast) - John Tudor dominates
in a 3-1 victory for the Cardinals. Welcome home, boys!
1987 World Series Game 4, October 21, 1987, Busch Stadium
(Complete Game Broadcast) - Little-used utility man Tom Lawless
earns his 15 minutes of fame with a clutch three-run homer that provided
the winning margin in a 7-2 Cardinals victory to even the series at 2-2.
1987 World Series Game 5, October 22, 1987, Busch Stadium
(Complete Game Broadcast) - Cox redeems himself with a brilliant
home-field performance, and the Twins look down-and-out in falling to a
3-1 defeat and a 3-2 series deficit.
1987 World Series Game 6, October 24, 1987, Metrodome
(Complete Game Broadcast) - Things are looking desperate when the
Cardinals jump on Twins starter Les Straker for an early 5-2 lead. But
Tudor and the bullpen can't hold down the Twins, and a Hrbek grand slam
in the sixth highlights an 11-5 victory and a date with Game 7.
1987 World Series Game 7, October 25, 1987, Metrodome
(Complete Game Broadcast) - Early-game jitters cost Viola a 2-0
Cardinals lead in the second inning, but he regroups to allow just two
more hits the rest of the way. The Twins chip away for a 4-2 lead heading
into the ninth, and Reardon closes out the series with a save. Let the
celebration begin; the Twins are World Series Champions for the first time
