However, the Braves now had two runners in scoring position instead of one and Justice, coming off his home run an inning earlier, was due up. With Toronto now behind by a run at 3-2 and with his ace in trouble, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston decided to make a strategic play with the struggling Smith on deck. In a move mirroring the one he made in the eighth inning of Game 3, Gaston put Justice on with an intentional walk and decided to take his chances with the Braves' designated hitter.
