1966: Moe Drabowsky's 6 innings of relief in game 1 of the World Series


---------
The underdog Orioles got off to a great start in the top of the first inning of the 1966 World Series.

Eventual MVP and Triple Crown winner Frank Robinson hit a 2-run HR and Brooks Robinson followed it with a solo shot.    It was suddenly 3-0 Baltimore!

Dave McNally could not get out of the 3rd inning but Moe Drabowsky pitched 6-plus innings of relief to preserve the win.

Final score: Orioles 5, Dodgers 2.    The Dodgers did not score again in the series.
