The Mariners, after losing four previous meetings between the expansion clubs, beat the Blue Jays for the first time, 5-2. Dick Pole became the first pitcher in the Mariners' brief history to have two complete games to his credit after the righthander tamed the Blue Jays on six hits. Ruppert Jones drove in two runs with a pair of singles and Jose Baez hit his first major league homer in the Mariners' attack.
