Mike Kekich, who pitched two perfect innings in relief before leaving the mound with a sore shoulder, was credited with his first major league victory since 1973 when the Mariners defeated the Angels, 11-7. Dan Meyer homered for the Mariners with two men on base in the first and Leroy Stanton, who had only one hit in 21 previous at-bats, connected for the circuit with a mate aboard in the sixth. Bobby Bonds homered for the Angels. [The Sporting News]
