Wiping out a 3-0 deficit, the Athletics rallied for four runs in the seventh inning and added two in the eighth on a homer by Wayne Gross to defeat the Mariners, 6-3. The Mariners took their lead with a two-run homer by Steve Braun in the third and with doubles by Ruppert Jones and Bill Stein in the fourth. The A's put together singles by Mitchell Page, Earl Williams and Wayne Gross, an infield out, a walk and pinch-single by Jim Tyrone for their runs in the seventh. Manny Sanguillen tripled ahead of Gross' homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
