The Blue Jays repeated as World Series champions, becoming the seventh franchise in MLB history to win back-to-back championships.
In Game 2, Dave Stewart out-dueled Chicago's Alex Fernandez as the Jays won 3–1 to take a 2–0 series lead headed back home to Toronto.
The Blue Jays would take Game 5 and the series lead back despite closer Duane Ward giving up a two-run home run to Robin Ventura in the top of the ninth.

Greg Maddux pitched seven solid innings as the Braves blew out the Phillies in Game 2 to even the series headed to Atlanta.

Pat Hentgen pitched six solid innings as the Blue Jays blew out the Phillies in Game 3, 10–3, to take the series lead.
The Blue Jays would capture the title in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6 thanks to Joe Carter's walk-off 3-run home run.
