A grand-slam home run by Bob Stinson lifted the Mariners to a 9-7 triumph over the White Sox. The Mariners entered the eighth trailing, 7-5. Bruce Bochte drew a leadoff walk, Leon Roberts followed with a single and John Hale was safe when Jorge Orta booted his grounder. Stinson then unloaded his sixth game-winning hit of the season.
