Nolan Ryan carved up the Mets over eight innings and the Twins exemplified the power of the two-out hit en route to dominating New York, 5-0, in Game 2 of the World Series.
Ryan shoved in a vintage 131-pitch performance that featured nine strikeouts against a measly two hits. Minnesota supplied all the run support he needed in the top of the fourth when Harmon Killebrew slugged a two-run homer - his second of the series - with two outs.
In the fifth, starter Nelson Briles retired the first two batters before Ryan tagged him for a double and Bobby Tolan ensued with an RBI single.
Series shifted to Minnesota with teams deadlocked at a game apiece. Bert Blyleven gets the rock for the Mets verus Joe Coleman.
Over first two games, Mets' lineup has generated just eight hits, unacceptable for this potent crew. Conversely, Twins have collected 14.
