Season Totals
Robinson   .636  7-11  2 Stolen Bases RBI
Mize            .181  2-11  2 Homeruns 2 Runs 2 RBI Walk Strikeout

The Giants scored only 3 runs in the series - 2 on Johnny Mize homeruns. The Dodgers scored only 5 runs in the series. Jackie Robinson was on fire at the plate but only contributed 1 RBI. Brooklyn's starting pitching looks like it could be strong all year but their bats are going to need to help them. The Giants were a scrappy team in this series defensively but their hitting has also got tot improve if they hope to have a decent season.
