American League
Boston Red Sox (93-69) v Minnesota Twins (92-70)
A Tom Griffin 2-hit shutout in Game 1 sets the tone for the Twins, who go on to win three close games to sweep the Red Sox and give themselves a chance for a second Championship to go with the 1962 title (plus the two won by the Senators).
National League
San Francisco Giants (99-63) v Philadelphia Phillies (92-70)
An outstanding series has a fittingly epic finish when the Giants hang on at home for a tight 4-3 Game 5 win to book their spot in the Big Dance.
