In Game 2, his first of three starts in this series against the defending world champion Yankees, Burdette allowed one run in the second inning and another in the third. He then pitched six scoreless innings to finish that game and followed it up with shutouts in both Game 5 and Game 7. That ran his scoreless streak for the Series to 24 while pitching three complete games to give the city of Milwaukee what is still its only World Series title.

(emphasis mine)

I knew Lew had to be up there somewhere. Dominating.
