Ending their own 10-game losing streak and stopping Boston's nine-game winning streak, the Mariners prevailed over the Red Sox, 3-2. Although the Red Sox got 10 hits, their only runs came on solo homers by Jim Rice in the first inning and Carlton Fisk in the eighth.

The Mariners scored in the fifth on a double by Craig Reynolds and single by Dan Meyer and added another in the sixth on a 400-foot line-drive double by Bb Robertson that scored Bill Stein from first. The final Mariner marker came in the eighth on an RBI double by Stein. The Sox got the potential winning run on base in the ninth when Butch Hobson singled and Jerry Remy hit a two-out double, but Rice was retired on a line drive to left to end the game.
