| 3 run shot in top of 1st sets the pace |
The Bombers jumped all over Taylor for 3 huge runs in the top of the first courtesy of a 3 runs shot by one Constantino (Tino) Martinez. Thanks to an error by Bernie Williams on a Carl Furillo single, Bruce Edwards had the opportunity to lift a sac fly to right to easily score Spider Jorgensen to make it 3-1. Scotty Brosius' solo shot with 1 out in the 4th restored New York's 3 run lead. A two run shot by Jorgensen in the bottom of the frame made it a 1 run game. Neither starter made it past the 6th inning. Cone ran out of gas after getting 1 out in the 5th and Taylor was done after 6. Both hurlers threw over 100 pitches and couldn't even get close to the finish line. The game would be trusted to each team's respective pens. New York's pen would give up just 1 run over the final 3 2/3 innings. That one run would come from an RBI single by Dixie Walker in the 7th. New York would add two more runs off of Dodger reliever Rex Barney, who allowed solo runs in the 7th and 8th. Those runs would provide the difference as New York would win by 2. Cone would actually garner the win even though he didn't go deep into the game. "El Capitan" Derek Jeter's RBI single in the 7th would be the difference make and Bernie Williams' solo shot to lead off the 8th would provide valuable insurance. "The Sandman", Mariano Rivera would pitch a scoreless 9th to notch the save.
Series tied at 1-1
