Oakland’s Rickey Henderson gave a dramatic start to the game between the 1990 Oakland Athletics and the 1995 Cleveland Indians. Henderson took Charles Nagy over 480′ on the 2nd pitch of the game. Two batters later, José Canseco tripled. The A’s would take a quick 2-0 lead. Then, Nagy shut them down. Nagy allowed just those two runs on 6 hits in 8 innings, striking out 9 to pitch Cleveland to a win to start the series. Oakland’s Dave Stewart had trouble in the 3rd when he allowed 3 straight RBI singles with 2 outs. Albert Belle added another run in the 4th when he doubled into the gap, but Willie McGee threw out Carlos Baerga at the plate to end the inning. José Mesa pitched a scoreless 9th to earn the save, as Cleveland jumped out to a 1-0 series lead over the Athletics. Carney Lansford is expected to miss several weeks after tumbling over the railing to catch a foul ball in the 5th inning.
