Seattle jumped out to a 3-0 lead on solo homers from Glenallen Hill (two) and Alex Rodriguez. Toronto took a while to get going, with Jose Canseco starting his huge day with their first hit off Jamie Moyer in the fourth. With one out in the sixth, Canseco doubled, which was followed by a Carlos Delgado double and a Tony Fernandez single to cut it to 3-2. In the seventh, Moyer got the first two Jays before walking Shannon Stewart and yielding a single to Shawn Green. Mike Timlin, famously acquired from Toronto along with Paul Spoljaric for Jose Cruz at the previous year’s trade deadline, walked Canseco to load the bases. Tony Fossas came on to face Delgado and walked him to tie it up.
The Mariners offense went quiet from the sixth on, with only singles by Joey Cora and ARod. In the ninth, Alex Gonzalez coaxed a leadoff walk from Heathcliff Slocumb, moving up to third with two outs on a pair of groundouts to David Segui. Then the hero of the game singled to left (marked here incorrectly as a double) to win it. Canseco drew two walks, hit two singles and a double
