Henderson, Oakland avoid
elimination with 6-2 victory
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif —The Toron
to Blue Jays tried their darndest to
catch Rickey Henderson.
They tried
to get him at
first base and
threw the ball
into right
field. They
tried to get
him at third
base and
threw it into
left.
The Blue
Jays never
quite caught
Henderson on
Henderson
Monday and they didn't catch up
with Dave Stewart or the Oakland
Athletics, either. The A's bounced
back from a devastating defeat a
day earlier and beat Toronto 6-2,
closing their deficit in the AL
playoffs to 3-2.
Rickey rattled the Blue Jays so
much so that in the seventh in
ning, coach Gene Tenace was
ejected when he bolted from the
dugout, and had to be held back
by manager Cito Gaston, to argue
a checked swing on a 1-2 pitch.
Henderson singled on the next
pitch. He then left for a pinch run
ner because of a tight hamstring,
to a standing ovation.
Ruben Sierra hit a two-run
homer in the first inning that be
gan David Cone's demise and
chased him with an RBI single in
the fifth.
Jerry Browne, back in the line
up at third base because Carney
Lansford was too banged up to
play, went 4 for 4, drove in two
runs and scored twice.
Henderson, Sierra and Browne
had all eight of Oakland's hits.
That gave the A's a 6-1 lead af
ter six innings. That was exactly
the score by which they led Game
4 before Toronto stunned Dennis
Eckersley and shocked Oakland
for a 7-6 victory in 11 innings.
Th A's did not let this one get
away as Stewart improved to 6-0
lifetime in the playoffs. After get
ting a no-decision in Game 1,
Oakland's big-game ace came
back and allowed seven hits,
walking three and striking out
five.
Game 5 will be Wednesday af
ternoon back at the SkyDome.
Mike Moore will start for Oakland
against Juan Guzman.
Dave Winfield's second homer
of the series accounted for Toron
to's first run in the fourth and De
von White singled home the other
in the seventh.
"Last night, I was sitting at
home, thinking there was no jus
tice in baseball," A's manager
Tony La Russa said. "Today, there
was justice. For Stewart to be on
the mound at the end with a com
plete-game victory, that's the way
the script should've worked."
"I didn't want to pitch again in
this series," Guzman said. "I
wanted it to be over."
Stewart pitched the first com
plete game in the AL playoffs
since Bruce Hurst of the Boston
Red Sox had one in 1986.
"When I was coming to the
park today, I was just thinking I
didn't want it to be the last day,"
Stewart said.
Cone looked nothing like the
pitcher who shut out Oakland for
eight innings in Game 2.
"I didn't establish my fastball
as well as I did in the first game.
When I had two strikes on a bat
ter, I didn't make the killer pitch
to bury him," said Cone.

Monk, Redskins rout Broncos, 34-3
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON-The Wash
ington Redskins returned to Super
Bowl form Monday night.
So did the Denver Broncos.
And the Redskins gave a final
bonus to Art Monk, who broke
the NFL career receiving record
when he caught three straight
passes in the final quarter to give
him 820 catches in his career, one
more than Steve Largent.
With Mark Rypien finally play
ing like he did as MVP of last
year's NFL title game and Wilber
Marshall leading a defense that
had five sacks and forced four
turnovers, the Redskins routed
the Broncos 34-3.
Rypien was 16 of 26 for 245
yards and one TD, and snuck in
from 1 yard out twice for touch
downs.
All that had to bring back old
nightmares for John Elway and
the Broncos (4-2), who lost three
Super Bowls in the late '80s by an
average of 32 points — the exact
margin of defeat the Redskins (3-
2) administered in their 42-10 win
in the 1987 game.
Elway, who has pulled out two
of the Broncos' four wins this year
with last-minute drives, was un
der pressure all night and never
had anything approaching a
chance to pull out this one.
He was relieved with 10 min
utes left by rookie Tommy Mad
dox, after going 15 for 32 for 128
yards and throwing two intercep
tions. One was by Marshall for a
second-quarter TD, the other in
the third quarter by Kurt Gouveia,
who returned the ball 15 yards to
1 to set up Rypien's second touch
down.
In fact, the game was all but
settled on the opening drive,
when Rypien drove the Redskins
80 yards in five plays, one a 58-
yard pass to tight end Terry Orr,
and then took it in himself. Den
ver never got over midfield on its
own in the first three quarters —
David Treadwell's 39-yard field
goal in the first period was set up
when Kenny Walker recovered a
fumble by Earnest Byner at the
Washington 31.
It was 17-3 by the end of the
first quarter after Marshall, who
also had a sack and forced a fum
ble, deflected a pass off the leg of
teammate Fred Stokes, grabbed it
out of the air and took it 20 yards
for a TD. Earlier, Chip Lohmiller
hit a 43-yard field goal to make it
10-3.
And it was 24-3 at halftime on
a 44-yard pass from Rypien to
Gary Clark; the Redskins had a
227-65 edge in yardage and held
the Broncos to just threeti
downs. By the fourth quarts,

more forced the Jays to scratch
and claw their way to their sec
ond straight AL East title.
Under those circumstances,
teams do one of two things - turn
tail or stand tall. The Jays seem
to have chosen the latter, even
though Monday's starter David
Cone was the victim of several
key Blue Jay errors, the kind he
thought he left behind in Shea
Stadium.
Toronto's intestinal fortitude
at a time in which it is least ex
pected will be a key factor in the
final two games of the ALCS. But
even more important will be Oak
land's pitching, and whether it
will show up.
If Stewart's fifth-game wiz
ardry was any indication, LaRus-
sa and pitching coach Dave Dun
can will be happy men come
Thursday's seventh game. Stew
art was his old, mean self, glaring
at hitters like a combination of A1
Hrabosky and a ticked-off pit
bull. His fastball was fast again.
Except, of course, for the one
Dave Winfield smashed over the
left field fence in the top of the
fourth.
And Stewart's array of fork-
balls and split-fingered fastballs
were once more falling off of that
invisible table, buckling hitters'
knees despite umpire Joe
Brinkman's tiny strike zone.
Stewart provided exactly what
LaRussa needed —a complete
game opposite Toronto's defen
sive breakdown. That seems
strange, considering the tradi
tional strength of Oakland's
bullpen. But Duncan's mediocre
middle relievers have hit the
wall, and closer Dennis Eckersley
looked extremely human Sunday
when Roberto Alomar tied the
game in the bottom of the ninth
with a two-run homer.
Some of the names in Oak
land's pen read like a who's-who
of the waiver wire—Jim Corsi,
Jeff Parrett, Kelly Downs. The
only reliable middle men are Rick
Honeycutt and Jeff Russell, the
latter being a closer at heart.
Contrast the A's to the Toronto
bullpen, which boasts the most
underrated closer in the league in
Tom Henke. Middle-man Duane
Ward packs a slider that ap
proaches 90 mph, and David
Wells is a former starter that has
found his stride in the pen. If
that's not enough, manager Cito
Gaston has put regular starters
Jimmy Key and Todd Stottle-
myre, two guys that three-fourths
of the teams the league would kill
for, in the pen against Oakland.
Ouch.
Wednesday night in Toronto's
Skydome, the tale will be told. If
Toronto wins, obviously, the se
ries is over. If Oakland beats
starter Juan Guzman and theres!
