Toronto got on the scoreboard in the fourth inning courtesy of a Joe Carter two-run home run to left, then cut the Phillies’ lead to 5–3 in the sixth when Roberto Alomar singled with two outs and scored on Tony Fernandez’s double, but the Phillies got that run back in the seventh on Lenny Dykstra’s home run off of Tony Castillo. Toronto cut the lead to 6–4 in the eighth when Paul Molitor hit a leadoff double off of Roger Mason, stole third and scored on John Olerud’s sacrifice fly off of Mitch Williams. Alomar then walked and stole second, but was caught stealing third to end the inning. Williams then pitched a scoreless ninth as the Phillies won to tie the series. Mulholland pitched 5+2⁄3 innings, allowing three earned runs, for the win.
