HR: CIN - Chris Sabo 2 (2). OAK - Harold Baines (1), Rickey Henderson (1).
The Reds scored seven runs in the third inning off Mike Moore and Scott Sanderson to blow the game open and take a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Series. Chris Sabo blasted two homers in his first two at-bats, one of which became immortalized as the "Red October" cover of Sports Illustrated. Billy Hatcher was "only" 2-for-5, dropping his line to
.750/.786/1.250/2.036
(There was no thread yesterday, as neither the 1975 nor 1990 World Series played on October 18. The '75 Series was scheduled, but was rained out in Boston--as it was on the 19th as well.)
