WP: Dennis Cook (1-0) LP: Eric Plunk (0-1) Tuesday, Octoat Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Ohio Team The three-run lead ballooned to five when Alomar hit a laser into the left field stands for a two run homer in the 6th. Later in the inning, with runners on second and third, Bip Roberts drove in a pair of runs with a single up the middle giving the Tribe a 4–1 lead. Brown pitched well until the 5th when the Indians strung together three straight singles by Matt Williams, Sandy Alomar, Jr., and Marquis Grissom. After that, Ogea settled in and did not allow any more runs. Ogea barely escaped further damage when Alou got under a hanging curveball, but merely flied out to the warning track, missing his second three-run homer in as many nights by inches. Both teams scored in the first, thanks to RBI singles by Justice for the Indians and Jeff Conine for the Marlins. Game 2 matched up Florida ace Kevin Brown against little known Chad Ogea, who had lost 2 games in the ALCS. WP: Chad Ogea (1-0) LP: Kevin Brown (0-1) Sunday, Octoat Pro Player Stadium in Miami, Florida Team Florida closer Robb Nen came in and was able to get out of a jam by striking out Sandy Alomar, Jr. The Indians crept back in the game slowly thanks to solo shots by Manny Ramírez and Jim Thome and entered the 9th inning down only 7–4. The Marlins added two in the 5th to knock Orel out of the game. The inning climaxed when Moisés Alou and Charles Johnson hit back-to-back homers (Alou's was a three-run shot off the left field foul pole). However, after the Marlins tied the game in the 3rd, they scored 4 runs in the 4th. Indian starter Orel Hershiser got by the first two innings unscathed. Fresh off his NLCS MVP performance, Liván Hernández took the hill for the Marlins and quickly gave up a run in the 1st thanks to a double by leadoff man Bip Roberts and an RBI single by David Justice.

The Marlins were underdogs(an interesting fact given the Marlins had the highest paid roster in MLB that year filled with free agents - tagged "the best team money could buy" by one local sports writer), but they capped a stunning season by beating the Indians in seven games, becoming the first ever wild card team to win the Series. Their opponents were the Florida Marlins, who had set a record by reaching the Series in only their fifth season.
