MVP: Lou Gehrig (NYY 1936) .421/.571/.632, 1 HR, 7 RBI
Toronto came out of the gate in Game 1 with a 3-hit shutout by Juan Guzman (although he did walk 6). The teams traded scores throughout Game 2, but the Yankees came out on top thanks to Bill Dickey's 3 hits and 3 RBI. New York led Game 3 10-2 in the 9th, and the Blue Jays attempted a last-inning comeback, scoring 4. Unfortunately for them, it only made the score look closer than it was. It was a bit of role reversal in Game 4, as the Blue Jays led 5-3 in the 9th. The Yankees scored 2 to tie it up, but in the bottom of the inning, Devon White hit a walk-off single to end it. New York dominated Game 5, and Red Rolfe had 4 RBI in the game, with Frankie Crosetti adding 3 more. The Jays looked to push the series into a deciding game, as they led Game 6 4-3 going into the 8th inning. But the Yankees scored 4 in that inning, with nothing stronger than a double (the rest were walks and singles), and took the series.
Scores:
Tor 3 NYY 0
