Take Me Out to the Ballgame - World Series Game 7


Since 1975, the World Series has gone to game seven 15 times. Today's challenge is to match up the 15 Game 7 opponents and scores to the correct year. Choose the two teams that played in each series along with the number of runs they scored in game 7 of that series. Each score team/score combo is used only once.

Example: 1960, Pirates 10, Yankees 9
(Please follow this format: year, winning team & score, losing team & score)

Two points for each correct year/team/score combination. One point for getting both the correct teams or one year/team/score combo. My problem, not yours...

1979
1982
1985

Well, I know all the teams. But the scores!?!? Let's try it out....

Two points for each correct year/team/score combination. One point for getting both the correct teams or one year/team/score combo. My problem, not yours...

Year:

1975 - Reds 4, Red Sox 3 (Has to be correct since Reds only appear once and I know they won)
1979 - Pirates 4, Orioles 1 (Well, this was easy!)
1982 - Cardinals 6, Brewers 3
1985 - Royals 11, Cardinals 0 (How to let an umpire get in your head. Fun fact: The Cardinals are the only team to blow a 3-1 lead in a best of seven FOUR times. Only Cleveland has even done it twice...)
1986 - Mets 8, Red Sox 5
1987 - Twins 4, Cardinals 2
1991 - Twins 1, Braves 0 (Gene Larkin, baby!)
1997 - Marlins 3, Indians 2
2001 - D-backs 3, Yankees 2 (I left for work right after Soriano hit his homerun. Didn't find out Arizona came back until the next morning...)
2002 - Angels 4, Giants 1
2011 - Cardinals 6, Rangers 2
2014 - Giants 3, Royals 2 (Gordon should have ran... this was the first year of replay and the third year of the Posey rule.... it would have been a fun way to decide a World Series!)
2016 - Cubs 8, Indians 7
2017 - Astros 5, Dodgers 1
2019 - Nationals 6, Astros 2

OK, I'm fairly confident these are all right!

Bonus: In which three years (from the list above) did game 7 go into extra innings (two points each)? - 1991, 1997, 2016

I'll take a zero rather than turn in all guesses with the accompanying scoring difficulty.
