Bucky Walters pitched a five-hit shutout to get the win for the Reds, and even the best-of-seven Series at 3-3. Walters, a converted third baseman, also helped his cause with a home run in the eighth inning off Tigers reliever (and future Reds manager) Fred Hutchinson. It was Hutch's only career World Series appearance.
