Game 1 starters Rube Walberg and Don Newcombe were on the mound for this game. And unfortunately for the Dodgers the results were the same. Mickey Cochrane started by slamming a long home run and driving in 3 in the first inning. The A's never looked back from that point. Jimmie Foxx added a solo shot in the 5th. The Dodgers did not help themselves in this game as they committed 3 costly errors. Rube Walberg (10-2, 1.91) got the win while Don Newcombe (5-5, 4.67) took the loss. The series had many MVP candidates but the Co-MVP would have to go to Mickey Cochrane and Rube Walberg.--submitted by Lee Crouch--
