Chicago Docs starter Dwight Gooden allowed 8 hits, but walked 5 more in 8 innings, but still picked up the win against the reigning National League champs, the St. Louis Wizards. Wizards ace Steve Carlton allowed just 1 hit in the 1st 4 innings on his way to a 3-0 lead. But in the 5th, the Docs finally broke through. Jim Edmonds hit a 2-out RBI single to cut the lead to 3-2. In the 7th, it was Edmonds again, this time with a game-tying RBI double that started a 3-run inning. Sammy Sosa hit his 2nd double of the game to drive in the 5th run. Facing closer Billy Wagner, Larry Walker hit an RBI double to pull to within a run with 1 out. Duke Snider followed with a single to left, but Barry Bonds gunned down Walker at the plate to save the game. Willie Mays flew out to Bonds to end it, as the Docs took game 1 5-4.
