World Series: Game 2
A's 5, Twins 0
Fugutive fleet comes back in a big way
In yet another game that was started one day and finished another, the A's led 2-0 after three innings then came back the next day to finish off the blanking, putting up 3 more runs in the process en route to a 5-0 win, knotting the series at 1 apiece. Mathis (3-2) was in control all game long, never letting the Twins get a real threat going, and made a few nice playes himself to shoot down some Twins on the basepaths.  Mathis scattered five hits, fanned eight and walked just one. The A's scored at least once in every inning from the 3rd on, getting a big insurance run when The Pirate homered barely fair down the left field line.  Edgar (3-1) took the first playoff loss for the Twins, allowing six hits, but walking five and striking out six.  The Pirate had a three hits game for the A's, as Mathis drove in two.  911 had a hit and an RBI.
