Completing the first three-game series sweep of their brief history, the Mariners rallied for three runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Tigers, 6-4, Consecutive homers by Mickey Stanley and John Wockenfuss helped the Tigers take a 4-2 lead over the Mariners, who had a round-tripper by Steve Braun.

Opening the sixth, Bob Stinson walked and Craig Reynolds singled, chasing Fernando Arroyo. After Steve Foucault relieved, Jose Baez hit a run-scoring double. Following an intentional pass and two strikeouts, Leroy Stanton singled to drive in two runs and put the Mariners ahead. Dave Collins accounted for an insurance run with a homer in the ninth.
