Subject: 1991 ALCS (games three and four)

Game three (Seattle at Detroit).  John Burkett vs. Danny Cox: The slugfest that wasn't.  

Detroit's RH-starter strategy against the heavily right-handed Seattle lineup worked well in game one, poorly in game two.  In game three, the Tigers held the potent M's lineup -- which averaged 5.6 runs a game in '91 -- to four runs.  Could Burkett and a fully rested Seattle bullpen make those four runs hold up?

Detroit scored first, Lou Whitaker's solo shot providing a quick edge.  Cox held the Mariners hitless the first time through the order, but a Julio Franco single and Ken Griffey Jr. homer put Seattle in front 2-1 in the fourth.  

Bottom four, Detroit has Burkett on the ropes.  Two singles and a walk loaded the bases with two outs, and a sharp Tony Phillips single tied the game at two.  Early double-barrel action in the Mariners' pen.  Seattle's field general stuck with Burkett against Daryl Boston, and his faith was rewarded -- Boston flew out, stranding three.

Burkett settled down, and Seattle squandered several scoring opportunities in the fifth and sixth, before a solo homer by Geno Petralli (previously homerless in his Mariners CAREER) took Cox out to center for a solo homer.  3-2 M's.

The rested, high-leverage arms in the Seattle bullpen took over in the seventh.  Mike Schooler, Trevor Wilson, Russ Swan, Bryan Harvey, and Dennis Eckersley combined for three one-hit innings; the Mariners added a cushion in the 8th, and Detroit suddenly faced elimination.

Game four: McDowell vs. Gullickson

There's not a whole lot to say about this one, other than the final score: 14-0 Mariners.  McDowell threw a two-hitter, split cards were extremely unkind to Detroit, and the Mariners walked to a rematch of the '90 World Series.

---

Big thanks to Mike for his patience in my technological fumbling, and especially for his grace in a really hard-luck series for the Tigers, one of the scariest teams I've played against.
