Pitchers on both sides frustrated batters all night. He gave up a walk, two-out single, and stolen base to put runners on second and third but the veteran right-hander got out of the jam by recording a fourth straight inning-ending strikeout. Atlanta mounted a scoring threat in the fifth when Toronto starter David Cone labored through a 26-pitch inning. Leading off the fourth inning, left fielder Candy Maldonado made it 2-1 for Toronto by belting a Steve Avery fastball over the left-field wall. Atlanta tied the game in the third when Deion Sanders doubled, stole third, and scored on Terry Pendleton’s fly out.

In Toronto’s first at-bat, Devon White singled, stole second, and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Joe Carter to open the scoring.
