ALCS Game 3: Blue Jays 9, A's 1

Toronto 9 Oakland 1
Dave Stieb (W) Mark Mulder (L)
NA Coliseum

If Oakland thought a change of venues returning back home would get things going. Think again. After 2 innings Mark Mulder was rocked for 7 runs. He was pulled in the 6th after allowing 8 runs in total. Dave Stieb pitched a solid 6 innings allowing 5 hits and only 1 run but was replaced by Game MVP Jeff Musselman who got the save allowing 1 hit over 3 innings. Lloyd Moseby and Juan Beniquez were 3 for 5 and Juan Beniquez had 3 RBIs. Things went so bad for oakland even catcher Ernie Whitt stole a base. Toronto left 11 runners stranded where Oakland left only 8. Interestingly enough Juan Beniquez was credited with the Game Winning RBI but his RBI was the 1st of the game, it was in fact Jesse Barfield who had a 3 run homer in the 1st that it should be credited to. 
Toronto leads the series 3-0.
