| Donn Clendenon clinched the series MVP should New York clinch upon returning to the Big Apple with a two run homer, run scoring triple and a double to put another wrecking ball into Cincinnati's dream of a shot at the World Series. Jerry Koosman shut down the powerful Big Red Machine, allowing one run over 8 innings. Lee May's two run blast in the 9th would only make the game appear closer. |
