Nickens then drilled a 2-2 pitch to center field for a three-run homer. After Dunn singled to right field, Cieri tripled to right to make the score 6-5.

Nickens and Dunn were once again in the center of the action in the fourth. After Nickens tucked a 3-1 pitch inside the foul pole in right for his second home run of the game, Dunn homered to right.
