Whew. Big K to get out of the 4th unscathed.

Momentum does seem to have ever-so-slightly moved towards Houston. Twins' batters need to make some noise again here soon.

He definitely wants some revenge against the old club.

Good to see the Twins add a couple to the scoreboard, but that probably should have been a bigger inning. 2 of the outs were on bunts, and then the strikeout with the bases loaded. Hopefully, that will not come back to bite them.

Did I hear the announcers right that Lopez has now gone further into a game (7 innings) than any other pitcher in Twins' postseason history other than Jack Morris and Johan Santana? That can't be right...

My guess is that it would be shutout innings, not just innings. The Twins had three complete games in the '65 World Series alone.

I didn’t take the time to look it up, but I figured there mist have been another qualifier somewhere. With guys like Blyleven, Kaat, and Grant in your history it just couldn’t be true.

I'm sure this is something repeated often enough until the last 30 years or so, but all 7 games of the 1965 World Series featured the winner pitching a complete game. Along with the Twins Grant and Kaat throwing three, Osteen and Drysdale threw complete game wins for LA in games 3 and 4, and Koufax threw CG shutouts in games 5 and 7. His line over the two games: 18 7 0 0 4 20.

In 4 World Series (1959, '63, '65, '66) Koufax threw 57 innings over 8 games, gave up 36 hits and 11 walks (WHIP .825) and pitched to an ERA of 0.95. That's pretty good I guess, maybe a little better than Kershaw.
 
btw had the Twins won Game 7 of the '65 WS, assuming '87 and '91 didn't change they would have 3 WS titles in which the home team won every game of the series.
