Continuing to torment the world champions, the lowly Mariners beat the Yankees, 4-3, for the second straight day. The score was 3-3 when Juan Bernhardt led off the bottom of the ninth with a double off the glove of Reggie Jackson who was attempting a shoestring catch.

Jose Baez ran for Bernhardt and scored when second baseman Willie Randolph, covering first on a sacrifice bunt, dropped the throw from pitcher Rich Gossage. The Mariners had an early 3-0 lead, but the Yankees came back and finally tied the score in the seventh on a solo homer by Jim Spencer. [The Sporting News]
