Once up 2 games to none, the 1998 New York Yankees have watched their World Series hopes slip away. José Canseco hit a 2-run home run in the 1st inning off Andy Pettitte, and Mike Moore scattered 7 hits, allowing just 1 run in 7 innings to pick up his 1st win of the Tournament. Once again, the Yankees outhit the Oakland Athletics, this time 9-7. But those hits didn’t come when it mattered most. Jorge Posada provided the only New York run on a solo homer in the 7th inning. In the 8th, the Yankees put runners on the corners with just one out, but pinch-hitter Tim Raines struck out, and Chad Curtis grounded out to end the inning. Dennis Eckersley struck out all 3 batters he faced in the 9th for his 4th save. With the 3-1 win, Oakland hopes to carry the momentum into New York as the teams prepare for Game 6.
