Randy Johnson and Jay Buhner were too much for the Los Angeles Angels. Buhner was 3 for 3 with 2 solo home runs against Angels starter Frank Tanana. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles bats were quiet and wasted several opportunities against Johnson. The Big Unit retired the 1st twelve hitters he faced before Troy Glaus singled to lead off the 5th. Mike Trout followed with another single to put runners on the corners with no outs. But Rod Carew flew out to shallow left, Don Baylor struck out, and Bobby Grich flew out to end the inning. The Mariners were already up 3-0 by that point. LA threatened again in the 7th when Glaus led off with a double, and Trout singled to put runners on the corners with no outs. This time, Carew walked to load the bases, but Johnson struck out Baylor and Grich before getting pinch-hitter Vladimir Guerrero to fly out to end the inning. The Angels had another shot the following inning down 4-0. Darin Erstad tripled, and Brian Downing doubled to break up the shutout and end Johnson’s night. Bill Swift walked Tim Salmon before striking out Glaus and getting Trout to fly out. Carew singled, but Ken Griffey Jr. gunned down Downing at the plate to end the inning. J.J. Putz pitched a perfect 9th to send Seattle to the Tournament Championship. Johnson allowed 7 hits and one run while striking out 6 in 7 innings. Tanana allowed just 6 hits, but 4 runs in 7 innings for Los Angeles.
