World Series Pitching Records

Ed Walsh (October 11, 1906) and Bob Gibson (October 2, 1968) are the only two pitchers to strike out at least one batter during every inning of a World Series game.

On October 13, 1971, Bruce Kison of Pittsburgh hit three batters resulting in the World Series record for most hit batsman during a single Series game.
