October 4, 1959
It was a beautiful sun shiny day at Milwaukee's County Stadium for Game 3 of the 1959 World Series. The Braves were now at home trying to get back into this Series trailing the Cleveland Indians 2 games to none.
Milwaukee had Bob Buhl (16-8, 2.63) on the hill for the start of today's game. He had the lowest ERA of any starter on the staff during the regular season. Cleveland was countering with rookie Jim Perry (13-6, 2.97, 4 Saves). He had appeared in 38 games this year for the Tribe and had 13 starts.
Unfortunately for the Braves and the hometown fans things didn't go so good right from the start. Jimmy Piersall led off with a single, Vic Power singled, Tito Francona moved the runners up on a slow roller, and Rocky Colavito walked to load the bases. Up next, Minno Minoso singled driving in 2 runs before Woodie Held popped out. It looked like Buhl was going to get out of the inning allowing only 2 runs. But that wasn't to be as what followed next was single, double, single and the rout was on. Buhl was chased from the mound and Cleveland led 5-0.
The Indians added 2 runs in the 2nd on a Colavito's 2-run bomb, 1 in the 4th, 4 in the 5th and 1in the 6th on their way to a 13-6 victory. Perry got the Win going 7 innings, allowing 3 hits and 1 earned run.
Cleveland now has a commanding 3-0 lead in the Series. Game 4 tomorrow will feature a repeat of the Game 1 starters, Warren Spahn and Cal McLish facing off again. Milwaukee can only hope for a different result.

TEAM RISP- Indians: 7 for 15 Braves: 5 for 9
The Cleveland Indians had very little trouble at County Stadium downing the
Milwaukee Braves. The score was 13 to 6.
Dick Brown was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine
day at their team's expense. He doubled bringing home two baserunners in the
1st inning, lined a base-hit in the 5th inning and lofted a solo-blast
'downtown' in the 6th inning. Milwaukee was out-hit by Cleveland, 19 hits to
8.
Jim Perry(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. Bob
Buhl(0-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed 5 runs and 5 hits in 2/3 of an
inning.
