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&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/10-20-2024_ATL_OAK.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'98 Braves @ '90 Athletics - 10\/20\/24\">&#8217;98 Braves @ &#8217;90 Athletics &#8211; 10\/20\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 Jos\u00e9 Canseco.
