Tony Fernández
The game tottered into the eighth before the Blue Jays finally scored on a home run by Lloyd Moseby. But entering the ninth, the Jays needed three runs just to tie. George Bell led off with a home run that ended Stewart's bid for a complete game. Dennis Eckersley came on with a chance to earn his seventh save in the last nine ALCS games. And he got it although Tony Fernández scored a cosmetic run by singling, stealing second, moving to third on a fielder's choice and scoring on Gruber's sacrifice fly. With a 4–3 lead and two outs in the ninth, Eckersley struck out Junior Felix to finish the last American League baseball game of the 1980s.
