In a hard fought series the '32 A's overcame a 2 - 1 deficit to take the final two games and the series.

GAME 1

New York struck first blasting A's ace starter Lefty Grove for 4 hits and five runs, the only extra base hit being a double by Granderson.

The Mets got to A's starter Rube Walberg for 4 runs in the second and coasted to a 6 - 2 win to even up the series.  The Mets attack featured singles by Lagares, Campbell, d'Arnaud, Tejeda and Young.  Mets starter Zack Wheeler shut out the A's on five hits to pick up the win.

WP: Wheeler; LP: Walberg

HRs;  Foxx 

GAME 3

Curtis Granderson and Wilmer Flores each smacked two home runs to lead the Mets to  a 9 - 6 win and a 2 - 1 series lead.  Mets pummeled the A's starter George Earnshaw ror six blasts as  d'Arnaud and  Duda also chipped in with four-baggers.  Bartolo Colon went six and 1/3 innings for the win, but needed help from his bull pen as he surrendered four in the seventh to make the game close.  Mejia picked up the save.

WP: Colon;  LP: Earnshaw

HRs Mets: Granderson (2), Flores (2), d'Arnaud and Duda

       A's: Cochrane

he responded with a complete game, six-hit shut out with 12 K's as the A's won 4 - 0 to even up the series at two each.

All the scoring took place in the first three innings as Cochrane, Foxx and McNair homered off Gee to account for all four A's runs.

WP; Grove, ( 2 - 0): LP: Gee 

HRs: Cochrane, Foxx McNair

GAME 5

The A's jumped out to a three run in the first as Mickey Cochrane doubled and following a walk to Foxx, Cramer and Haas hit two out doubles to plate three runs.  The score remained 3 - 0 until the 7th when Cochrane hit a two-run homer (his fourth of the series) to give the A's a 5 - 0 lead.  Dykes and McNair each doubled in the 8th to extend the lead to 6 - 0 and it appeared that it was all over but for the shouting, but the Mets were not ready to concede victory.

In the bottom of the 8th Young reached on a bunt single, stole second and scored on a Granderson single to plate the first run for the Mets

The A's lacking a true closer let starter Walberg remain for the ninth.  Rube issued two walks and a single to load the bases with none out.  Walberg induced Abreu to hit into a double play, but a run scored to make a 6 - 2 game.  Krausse came in to relieve Wlalberg and promply wild pitched a run in and then walked the batter.  Frietas, a seldom used left-hander came in to face left- hander Curtis Granderson who grounded out to end the game and give the A's the win and the series.

WP: Walberg, (1 -1); SV Frietas(1)  LP: deGRom, (0 - 2)

HRs: Cochrane.
