The Tigers would capture Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead, as BoBo Newsome won his 2nd game of the series. However, after the Tigers lost Game 6 they would call on Newsome to pitch Game 7 on just 1-day rest. Through the first 6 innings Newsome kept the Reds off the board, but back-to-back 7th Inning doubles gave the Reds a 2-1 lead that would hold up, as the Tigers lost the World Series for the 5th time in 6 trips.
