Game two saw Storm Davis take the mound against Roger Clemens. After five innings, the A`s had two hits, the Red Sox one, and the game was still scoreless. In the bottom of the sixth, a sequence of errors gave the Red Sox two unearned runs. With two outs, Dwight Evans and Mike Greenwell walked. With two on and two out, Davis appeared out of the inning, but an error by Dave Henderson allowed Evans to score the first run of the game. Ellis Burks then singled home Greenwell to make it 2-0 Boston. Davis then threw a wild pitch that moved Burks to second but retired the side on a strikeout of Todd Benzinger.
Trailing for the first time in the series, the A`s deficit only lasted two batters. Henderson singled and Jose Canseco hit his second home run in two games to tie the score at two. Dave Parker singled but was forced at second by Lansford. Lansford got to go to second when Clemens balked and to third on a wild pitch. Lansford then scored on Mark McGwire`s single to give the A`s a 3-2 lead.
Boston tied the game in the bottom of the seventh when Rich Gedman hit a solo home run off Oakland reliever Greg Cadaret. Three ninth inning singles by Ron Hassey, Tony Phillips, and Walt Weiss scored Hassey with what proved to be the winning run. Eckersley retired the side again in the ninth for his second save and Oakland carried a two games to none lead with them back to California.
Gene Nelson got the win while Boston reliever Lee Smith was the losing pitcher.
