The Phillies jumped out to an early three run lead thanks in part to a RBI single from Tim Corcoran and a bases loaded walk to Mike Schmidt. But the Giants came pecking back against Jerry Koosman. In the fourth Brad Wellman doubled home Jeff Leonard and then Leonard launched a solo homer in the sixth.
In the top of the ninth Larry Andersen came on but gave up three straight singles to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Randy Gomez whiffed but Chili Davis poked a single to tie the game! Chris Brown struck out and the Phillies couldn't produce in the bottom of the ninth so that meant FREE BASEBALL!
Fast forward to the bottom of the eleventh and Greg Minton took the mound, the fourth Giants reliever of the game. Pinch hitter Bo Diaz promptly walked, but Minton got back to back K's on Von Hayes and Luis Aguayo. But Sixto Lezcano came up next and BLASTED A WALK-OFF, TWO-RUN BOMB!!!

This was the battle of the Mikes as Boddicker and Moore squared off against each other. The Orioles had a comfy 2-0 lead when Phil Bradley doubled and Alvin Davis homered to tie things up. In the fifth Larry Milbourne tripled and Spike Owen squeezed him home to give Seattle their first lead. They padded that advantage with back to back solo homers by Ken Phelps and Barry Bonnell. Despite issuing six walks, Mike Moore lasted eight innings while striking out eight Orioles hitters.
