Jones pitched eight seasons for San Diego and two for the New York Mets, going 100-123 with a 3.42 ERA. He still holds the Padres franchise records with 253 starts, 71 complete games, 18 shutouts and 1,766 innings pitched. Jones was one of the majors' best pitchers in 1975 and 1976, earning two All-Star selections and becoming the first player to win the Cy Young for the Padres, who began play as an expansion team in 1969.

Snell had everything working, and he ended up facing the minimum over eight shutout innings while striking out 10 batters. He only allowed one hit, but picked off the batter shortly after the single. At one point, Snell retired 14 consecutive hitters, which began after he allowed the single to lead off the third inning, and took him through the eighth.

Schlittler, a 24-year-old rookie who played for Walpole High and Northeastern University, tossed eight scoreless innings to steer New York to a 4-0 triumph and end Boston's season. "He didn't look like a rookie, did he?" teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr. told reporters. Schlittler became the first pitcher to go eight scoreless innings with 12-plus strikeouts and no walks in a playoff game in Major League history. Not just among Yankees or among rookies - among all pitchers ever.
