Things looked grim just a few days ago when the top-seeded 1998 New York Yankees dropped the 1st two games of the series against the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays. But they won Game 3 in extra innings, and dominated in a 10-4 win in Game 4 to send the series back to New York. The Yankees offense kept rolling, scoring 5 runs in the 1st two innings against Juan Guzmán, broken open by a 2-run double from Jorge Posada. Toronto fought back, closing the gap to 5-3 after a 2-run homer by Paul Molitor in the 4th. The Yankees kept the pressure up, scoring a run in the 5th and 6th. Toronto threatened in the 7th against a tiring David Cone, who walked two with 2 outs before giving up an RBI double to Roberto Alomar. Ramiro Mendoza got Joe Carter to pop up to end the threat. Paul O’Neill put the final nail in with a 3-run homer off Tony Castillo in the 8th to make it 10-4 again. The controversial decision to start Cone over Andy Pettitte paid off, as Cone allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits in 6 2/3 innings. Ramiro Mendoza allowed just one hit the rest of the way. The heartbreaking loss after being up in the series 2-0 won’t be soon forgotten by the Blue Jays, who head home wondering what might have been. The Yankees get a chance at a rematch with the 1990 Oakland Athletics, who topped them 3-1 in the last series they faced each other. Chuck Knoblauch set the table for the Yankees offense, going 3 for 4 with a walk, stealing two bases and scoring 4 runs.
