Rico Carty drove in five runs with a pair of homers and his first triple since 1972 to play a major role in the Indians' 10-6 victory over the Mariners. Carty accounted for two runs with his triple in the first inning and hit his first homer of the game leading off the fourth. In the fifth, when the Indians erupted for five runs, Ron Pruitt hit for the circuit with two men on base to kayo Glenn Abbott and Carty smacked his second homer of the game with one aboard off reliever Bill Laxton.
