 In the ninth, Jay Buhner and Paul Sorrento hit one-out back-to-back home runs off of Terry Matthews to give the Mariners a 4–0 lead.These would turn out to be the deciding runs as the Orioles rallied in the bottom half.After Jeff Fassero walked Geronimo Berroa to lead it off, Rafael Palmeiro singled off of Heathcliff Slocumb, who got two outs before Jeffrey Hammonds's two-run double put the tying run at the plate in the person of Harold Baines, but Baines popped out to ensure a Game 4.
