After missing much of the 1997 season with injuries, Ogea managed to win two World Series games, both against Marlins ace Kevin Brown. In that Series, Ogea gave up just two earned runs for an ERA of 1.54. Batting in Game 6 against Brown, Ogea managed to get his first hit since high school, knocking in two runs in the process. Later, he hit a double to lead off the 5th inning. He would score on Manny Ramírez's sacrifice fly. He became the first pitcher since Mickey Lolich to drive in two World Series runs and the first Cleveland Indians pitcher to drive in a World Series run since 1920.[1]
After the 1998 season, Cleveland traded Ogea to Philadelphia for Jerry Spradlin.
