No-hit relief pitching by Mike Kekich over the last four innings and homers by Ruppert Jones and Carlos Lopez enabled the Mariners to gain a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. Dick Pole, who started for the Mariners, gave up the Tigers' pair in the fifth on a homer by Ben Oglivie, double by Milt May and single by Tom Veryzer. Jones sparked the Mariners' comeback with a round-tripper in the seventh. Then in the eighth, after Steve Braun walked, Lopez hit his homer for the winning blow.
