The Yankees were one game away from losing two consecutive World
Series for the first time since the 1920s.  The Milwaukee Braves, led
by left-hander Warren Spahn, blanked New York, 3-0, at Yankee Stadium
to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Spahn gave up only two hits.

The Braves needed seven games to defeat the Yankees in the 1957
Series. The New York Giants were the last team to defeat the Yankees in
consecutive World Series, in 1921-22
