A three-run homer by Bob Robertson capped a five-run third inning that carried the Mariners to a 7-4 victory over the White Sox. With one out in the third, Dan Meyer singled and Leon Roberts and Bruce Bochte walked to fill the bases.

After an out, a single by Bill Stein drove in two runs and Robertson then blasted his round-tripper. Rookie Mike Parrott, twice on the disabled list this year, got his first win by allowing just three hits in five innings. [The Sporting News]
