World Series: Game 4
Twins 3, A's 2 (10 inn)
Jon's heroics turn the tide in series
After Mathis broke a 1-1 tie with a solo HR in the top of the 10th, and considering Mathis' domination on the mound all game long, most thought the A's had it in the bag and would take a 3-1 series lead. The Twins had other ideas, as Edgar singled to lead off the bottom of the 10th, and Jon sent a Mathis curveball over the left field chain link and deep into the night, capping the 3-2 win. Edgar (4-1) got into trouble in the later innings via the walk, but got the win, going 10 innings, scattering five hits, striking out eight and walking six. Edgar had a no-hitter broken up after 4 2/3 innings. Mathis (3-3) took the loss in heartbreaking fashion, in many ways actually outpitching Edgar in this one. Mathis went 9 innings, allowing six hits, whiffing nine and walking nobody.
