Enrique Romo, taking over in relief in the 10th inning, hit Marty Perez in the hand with his first pitch, leading to the run that gave the Athletics a 3-2 victory over the Mariners. Mitchell Page bunted Perez to second. After an intentional pass to Wayne Gross, Manny Sanguillen forced Gross as Perez took third. Jim Tyrone then batted for Tim Hosley and beat out an infield hit to score Perez. [The Sporting News]
