1 Summary

1.1 Game One

The series' first game sent two staff aces -- Curt Schilling for Philadelphia and Juan Guzman for Toronto -- against one another. The result was less than a pitcher's duel, however, as both teams scored early and often.

The deciding plays came in the middle innings. With Toronto behind 4-3 in the 5th inning, Devon White hit a solo home run to tie the game. The next inning, John Olerud hit a solo home run of his own to put Toronto on top. Toronto added three insurance runs in the bottom of the 7th and held on to win 8-5. Al Leiter pitched 2 2/3 innings -- in relief of a sporadic Juan Guzman, who walked four in just five innings -- for his first World Series win. John KrukJohn Martin Kruk (born February 9, 1961 in Charleston, West Virginia) is an American former Major League Baseball player. He began his career with the San Diego Padres after being drafted in 1981. He played in such outposts as Walla Walla, Reno, Beaumont, had three hits for Philadelphia.

1.3 Game Three

Tuesday, October 19, 1993 at Veterans StadiumColloquially known as "The Vet," Veterans Stadium was located at the corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue in Philadelphia; it housed the Philadelphia Eagles of the ( NFL) from 1971 through 2002 and Major League Baseball's Philadelphia Phillies from

For Toronto, Pat HentgenPatrick George "Pat" Hentgen (born November 13, 1968 in Detroit) was a right-handed starting pitcher in the Major Leagues and a former Cy Young Award winner. Hentgen was offered a baseball scholarship to Western Michigan University, but signed with the To faced off against Philadelphia starter Danny Jackson in Game 3. Hentgen pitched a strong 6 innings, allowing just 1 run, and the Toronto offense took care of the rest. Toronto won 10-3.

Toronto manager Cito Gaston was faced with an unusual and difficult decision prior to game time. As the series switched the National League ballpark, Gaston was forced to sit one player from his regular line-up as the designated hitterA designated hitter or DH is a baseball player who is chosen at the start of a game to bat in place of the pitcher in the lineup. While in the lineup, the designated hitter may not play a field position, and he may only be replaced by another player not c (DH) would not be allowed to play. As regular DH Paul Molitor had been a hot hand in the line-up, Gaston elected to sit firstbaseman John Olerud and place Molitor at first base. The decision was potentially controversial as Olerud led the American League in batting during the year with a .363 average and Molitor was the less sure-handed fielder. Molitor, however, put these concerns to rest, going 3 for 4, hitting a home run in the 3rd inning, and driving in 3 runs.

1.4 Game Four

Wednesday, October 20, 1993 at Veterans Stadium

In the fourth game of the series, Todd Stottlemyre started for Toronto while Tommy Greene started for Philadelphia. The starters are notable because neither lasted three innings.

In one of the more unusual plays in World Series history, Todd Stottlemyre, trying to go first to third on a Roberto Alomar single in the 2nd inning, did a bellyflop diving into third base, where he was called out. Todd's awkward dive resulted in an abrasian on his chin and appeared to shake him up in the next inning, during which he surrendered a Lenny Dykstra two-run home run. Stottlemyre was pulled after the second inning, having already given up six runs. (Tommy Greene fared little better, being pulled after giving up seven runs in 2 1/3 innings.)

Philadelphia took a commanding 12-7 lead in the 5th inning, courtesy of two-run home runs from Darren Daulton and Dykstra, and a run-scoring double from Milt Thompson .

Toronto fought back from a 14-9 deficit in the 8th inning, scoring six runs on run scoring hits from Paul Molitor, Tony Fernandez, Rickey Henderson, and Devon White . Duane Ward pitched the final 1 1/3 innings, preserving the 15-14 victory. The aggregate score of 29 remains a World Series record.

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Toronto	3	0	4	0	0	2	0	6	0	15	18	0
Philadelphia	4	2	0	1	5	1	1	0	0	14	14	1
W: Tony Castillo (1-0) L: Mitch Williams (0-1) S: Duane Ward (2)

1.5 Game Five

Thursday, October 21, 1993 at Veterans Stadium

The offenses were due for an off-day, and it came in game five courtesy of a Curt Schilling (Philadelphia) and Juan Guzman (Toronto) pitching duel. Schilling shut down the previously unstoppable Toronto offense, limiting the team to just five hits and no runs. Guzman pitched well in a losing effort, allowing only two runs and five hits.

The two runs scored as a result of scrappy play from the Philadelphia offense. In the first inning, Lenny Dykstra walked, stolen second, moved to third on a Pat Borders throwing error, and scored on a John Kruk ground out. In the second inning, Darren Daulton opened with a double, took third on a ground out, and scored on a Kevin Stocker single.

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Toronto	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	5	1
Philadelphia	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	x	2	5	1
W: Curt Schilling (1-1) L: Juan Guzman (0-1)

1.6 Game Six

Saturday, October 23, 1993 at SkyDome

The sixth game in the series was a rematch between Game 2 starters Terry Mulholland and Dave Stewart, who would have similar results. Toronto opened up the scoring in the bottom of the first with a run-scoring Paul Molitor triple, Joe Carter sacrifice fly, and Roberto Alomar RBI single. Molitor added a solo home run in the 5th inning, bringing the score to 5-1 for Toronto.

In the 6th inning, Philadelphia fought back with five runs to take a 6-5 lead. Lenny Dykstra hit a three-run home run, Dave Hollins had an RBI single and Pete Incaviglia hit a sacrifice fly. The inning brought an end to Dave Stewart's night, leaving the game with 6 innings pitched and 4 runs given up.

Philadelphia closer Mitch Williams came on to the pitch the bottom of the 9th with Philadelphia clinging to a 6-5 lead. The inning began with a Rickey Henderson walk, followed by a Devon White fly out. Paul Molitor followed with a single. Joe Carter came up next and, on a two strike pitch, he hit an inside pitch just over the left field fence, giving the Blue Jays a come-from-behind 8-6 victory, and the World Series crown.
