Met reliever Roger McDowell picked up the victory in New York’s World Series clinching victory. After the Mets had taken a 6-3 lead in the sixth, McDowell pitched a perfect seventh. He then gave up two runs in the eighth, and was pulled for Jesse Orosco. With the Mets clinging to a one run lead, Orosco shut the Red Sox down the rest of the way, earning the save.
