Yankees History: Red Ruffing does it all

The Yankees took Game 1 of the 1937 World Series over the Giants thanks to a big sixth inning, cruising to an 8-1 win. However the next day, things did not get off to the best start in Game 2.

Red Ruffing was on the mound, but within three batters, the Yankees were trailing. After striking out the first batter of the game, he allowed a double to Dick Bartell and a single to Mel Ott. Bartell scored and the Giants had an early lead as they tried to even the series.

However, the Giants would not even the series.
