The Mariners' Dan Meyer collected five RBIs, three with a second-inning homer, as Seattle outlasted the Twins, 9-7. Rod Carew cut into the 7-2 Seattle lead in the fifth when he hit a there-run homer, and Lyman Bostock, who had four hits for the losers, made it a one-run game in the next inning when he doubled home the Twins' sixth run. The Mariners scored the decisive runs in the bottom of the inning on a walk to Craig Reynolds, Dave Collins' triple and a sacrifice fly by Meyer. [The Sporting News]
