San Diego held Oakland scoreless through 5 when Mark McGwire (the skinny version) blasted a 2-run shot for the first of 8 Athletic's homers in the series. Pinch hitting for Dave Stewart in the 7th, Dwayne Murphy added another 2-run homer and the A's cruised to an opening game 5-1 win.
Game 2:
On the first pitch of the game Carney Lansford homered to start the A's power offense moving. Mike Davis added two solo shots and the A's again cruised to a 7-2 victory.
Game 3:
After 5 batters the Padres were already down 3-0 as both Jose Canseco and Mike Davis hit homeruns in the first inning. Mark McGwire showed power in the 2nd inning hitting a two-run double and the A's banged their way to a 12-5 win in game three and a sweep of the series.
