A homer by Ruppert Jones with two out in the ninth inning lifted the Mariners to a 2-1 victory over the Rangers. The Mariners counted their initial run on a double by Larry Milbourne and single by Jose Baez in the sixth. The Rangers came back with a matching tally on doubles by Claudell Washington and Willie Horton to chase Diego Segui, who had allowed only one other hit in 5 1/3 innings. Enrique Romo relieved and came out a winner over Gaylord Perry when Jones rapped his homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
