José Canseco hit a 2-run home run off 1995 Cleveland Indians starter Ken Hill in the 1st inning, and scored on a Dave Henderson single in the 3rd, but Albert Belle hit a 2-run single off Mike Moore, and Omar Vizquel added an RBI double to keep the game tied. Athletics relievers Gene Nelson, Rick Honeycutt, and Todd Burns allowed just 2 hits in 4 innings of relief. Meanwhile, Hill pitched out of a jam in the bottom of the 9th, striking out Mike Gallego with the winning run on 3rd. Hill then intentionally walked Rickey Henderson to load the bases before getting Willie McGee to fly out to end the inning. Rickey was 3 for 4 with 3 stolen bases up to that point. Julián Tavárez came in to pitch the 10th and wasn’t so lucky. After striking out Canseco, he left one too much over the plate and Mark McGwire took him deep for the walk-off homer, giving Oakland the 4-3 win and forcing a Game 5 back in Cleveland.
