The 1990 Oakland Athletics continue to defy expectations, this time overcoming 1998 Atlanta Braves starter Tom Glavine, putting up 4 runs in the 1st inning helped by a 2-run home run from José Canseco. Atlanta pulled to within a run with a 3-run 2nd inning against Bob Welch, but those would be the only runs they would score. Oakland’s offense, absent in the 1st three games, has been relentless since. Glavine allowed 7 runs on 11 hits in 5 innings, capped by a 2-run homer by Terry Steinbach. That started a 5-run 6th inning against Glavine and Dennis Martinez. Oakland got production all up and down the lineup. While Rickey Henderson’s offensive struggles continued, he still walked twice. Other than Mike Gallego, every other Athletics hitter had at least two hits. Canseco finished 3 for 5 with 3 RBI to go with his homer. Mark McGwire also added a solo shot. With the 11-3 win, Oakland sends the Series back to Atlanta with Dave Stewart taking the mound to try to force a Game 7.
