Game 1 {{Linescore| Game 1 took a mere 1 hour, 41 minutes.
Steve O'Neill supplied RBI doubles in the second and fourth innings in support of
Stan Coveleski, who won it for the visiting Indians with a five-hitter.
Game 2 {{Linescore| A first-inning run on a
Jimmy Johnston single and
Zack Wheat double would be all Dodger pitcher
Burleigh Grimes would require in a complete-game shutout.
Game 3 {{Linescore| Brooklyn scored twice in the first on hits by
Zack Wheat and
Hi Myers that chased Cleveland starter
Ray Caldwell from the game. The only run winning pitcher
Sherry Smith gave up in a three-hitter came when
Tris Speaker came all the way around on a double that was misplayed in left field.
Game 4 {{Linescore| Brooklyn starter
Leon Cadore didn't make it past the first inning. His relievers didn't fare much better,
Al Mamaux being removed in the third and
Rube Marquard greeted by a
George Burns two-run double.
Stan Coveleski cruised with a five-hitter for his second win of the Series.
Game 5 {{Linescore| The
Cleveland Times ran the following article on Monday, October 11, 1920, recounting Game 5 and Wambsganss' triple play: (upper left) completing his unassisted triple play in Game 5, about to tag a stunned

Wamby Makes Unassisted Triple Play • CLEVELAND, Sunday Oct 10, 1920 –
Bill Wambsganss'
unassisted triple play highlighted the most unusual game in
World Series history today and helped the
Cleveland Indians to a wild 8–1 victory over the
Brooklyn Robins.
Elmer Smith hit a
grand slam and
Jim Bagby also
homered as the Indians took the lead in games three to two. The
triple play and grand slam had never happened before in World Series history and Bagby became the first
pitcher to homer in a World Series. "I've been in baseball 40 years", Robins
manager Wilbert Robinson said, "and I never saw one like this." The first Indian to face
Burleigh Grimes was Charlie Johnson, who
singled. He stopped at second on Wambsganss' single. Then Grimes fell fielding
Tris Speaker's
bunt, loading the bases. Then Smith hit a 1–2 pitch over the right field screen for a 4–0 lead. In the home fourth,
Doc Johnston singled to center and moved up on a
passed ball. After Grimes put
Steve O'Neill on, Bagby homered into the center field stands.
Pete Kilduff began the top of the fifth with a single to left center. When
Otto Miller singled to center, Speaker's quick throw to third drove Kilduff back to second. That brought up reliever
Clarence Mitchell, who went six for sixteen as a
pinch-hitter this
season and sometimes fills in at
first base and in the outfield. A left-handed hitter, he drove the ball toward right center. Second baseman Wambsganss moved slightly to his right, tipped onto his toes, sprung a little bit and grabbed the ball with his gloved hand. Never hesitating, he continued to second base, easily doubling Kilduff. Then when Wamby turned to throw to first base he saw Miller frozen directly in front of him. Reaching out, Wamby tagged Miller easily. The crowd was silent momentarily, then, realizing what had happened, broke into thunderous applause. In the Brooklyn eighth,
Ernie Krueger singled to center. But Mitchell grounded to first baseman Johnson, who started a double play. Thus, Mitchell accounted for five outs in two at-bats.
Game 6 {{Linescore| Even faster than Game 1, this one was done in just 94 minutes.
Duster Mails twirled a three-hit shutout, and the lone run came in the sixth on a
Tris Speaker two-out single, followed by a
George Burns double.
Game 7 {{Linescore| The Robins didn't score in the last two games. Their pitcher,
Burleigh Grimes, committed an error on a Cleveland double steal that resulted in the game's first run.
Stan Coveleski needed no more, but got one in the fifth from a
Tris Speaker run-scoring triple and another in the seventh on
Charlie Jamieson's RBI double.
Spitball pitcher Coveleski won for the third time and the Indians celebrated before their home fans. ==Composite line score==
