Here's the entire list of left-handed pitchers to face the minimum through six innings in a World Series game: Robert Gasser and Sandy Koufax.
Going into the postseason, nobody would have believed that Robert Gasser would be by far the best Brewers starting pitcher in the postseason. Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson have been fine, but neither has recorded an out in the sixth inning.
Gasser became the first Brewers starter to work more than five innings this postseason, and he did it in dominant fashion. He threw 75 pitches, giving up just one hit and one walk. A pair of double plays kept him from facing any extra batters and gave him some elite company in the record books.
Koufax threw two complete games in the 1965 World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the way things are going right now, it does not look like Gasser will pitch again in this series. Koufax won World Series MVP that year, and it's unlikely Gasser will do the same.
However, his joining Koufax as the only left-handed pitcher to face the minimum through six innings in a World Series game speaks to how good he was on the biggest stage. He struck out just three batters, but he knew he had an elite defense behind him.
Working on 11 days of rest after the Brewers used their best relievers in both Games 1 and 2, Gasser's start set the Brewers up to have all of their best arms ready for their bullpen game on Tuesday.
Despite being in the big leagues for a few years, Gasser is still a rookie. He has dealt with some injuries, but this year he has been key to the Brewers' World Series run.
