World Series pitchers STARTING more than one game 7: Gibson, Burdette ... Larsen.

The only three: Bob Gibson, Lew Burdette and Don Larsen. Larsen's perfect game was World Series game five in 1956. The multiple didn't start until a year later.

Lew Burdette started game seven for the Milwaukee Braves against the New York Yankees in 1957 and 1958. In both the Yankees started Don Larsen, who did not last long in either. Burdette shutout the Yankees in 1957 and pitched well in 1958 (2-2 through 7) before yielding 4 in the 8th and losing.

Bob Gibson started three games in each of three World Series: 1964, 1967, 1968. Nine games, 8 complete, 81 innings. Gibson started game seven in all three WS: win, win, loss; all complete games.

Pitchers winning three games in a World Series. Sunday, October 26, 2014

1957 World Series (4-3): Milwaukee Braves (95-59) over New York Yankees (98-56)

Lew Burdette273300wWw

Milwaukee's only championship.  Burdette won three complete games: 4-2, 1-0, 5-0.  In a battle of Hall of Fame southpaws Warren Spahn (1-1) lost game one at the Stadium to Whitey Ford (1-1) 3-1; Spahn lasted only five innings.  In game four in Milwaukee Spahn blew a 4-1 lead in the ninth when Elston Howard hit a three run homer with two outs and allowed the Yankees to take a 5-4 lead in the 10th but the Braves bailed him out with three runs, including a two run homer by Eddie Mathews for a rocky 7-5 win; Hank Aaron and Frank Torre had homers earlier.  Ford lost game five 1-0 to Burdette who stole the show.
