1979 ALCS Game Two
After a thrilling walk-off win in game one, the Orioles look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Angels. Baltimore sends their Cy Young winner, lefty Mike Flanagan (23 - 9 3.08 ERA 265 IP), to the mound. He has been a workhorse all season, but has been known to lose it quickly if he really gets in trouble. Opposing him is California righty Dave Frost (16 - 10 3.57 ERA 239 IP), who is having a career year, unfortunately the only one of his relatively short career. This game will once again be close at the end, but it will play out in a much different fashion than game one. Can the Orioles take control of this series, or will the Angels even it up. Tune in to this barnburner.
