However, Pearson repaid his manager's faith in him by churning out the best statistical year in his career. His .731 winning percentage (197 record) was third best in the AL; he finished fifth in ERA (3.71) and strikeouts (118) and sixth in wins, though he also recorded the third-highest number of walks in the AL with 135.

In Game 4, Pearsonwho insisted on being included in the rotation even after falling ill with pleurisy just before the Serieslimited the Giants to just two runs while striking out seven in a complete game win. Offensively, he managed to get two hits, including a double. The 52 victory ended Carl Hubbell's streak of 17 consecutive regular and postseason wins.
