Even without Jose Canseco hit ting rocket shots, the A's still won with plenty of power Wednesday night. Mark McGwire and Terry Steinbach hit consecutive home runs in the second inning, and Harold Baines led off the ninth with a homer that gave the A's a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of the American League playoffs. Jack Morris and Dave Winfield, the two free agents that Toronto signed in the winter to help them win in October, did their jobs. Winfield hit a solo home run in the sixth that made it 3-2, and doubled and scored the tying run in the eighth on John Olerud's two-out single.

"I was trying to drive it well. I don't consider myself a great home run hitter, but it was a great time to hit one." Dave Stewart went 7 2-3 in nings and maintained his reputa tion as a big-game pitcher, and Dennis Eckersley enhanced his status by pitching the ninth for a save. The A's won their seventh straight playoff game, a streak that dates back to 1989, when they wiped out Toronto in five games. Toronto will try to even the se ries Thursday night when David Cone pitches against Mike Moore. "Everybody has kind of writ ten us off," Steinbach said. "But our attitude all year has been kind of, 'Let's play ball.' Now we have a big game tomorrow. We have a real tough pitcher going against us in David Cone." Pat Borders also homered for Toronto. McGwire silenced another sell out crowd in the SkyDome with a two-run shot in the second. Stein bach followed with a homer to left, marking the first consecutive playoff Rick Cerone and Lou Piniella did it for the New York Yankees in 1980 against the Kansas City Roy als. After Borders put the Blue Jays on the board, Winfield made it a one-run game in the sixth.
