Homers by Joe Wallis and Dave Revering sparked the A's to a 5-3 victory over the Mariners. The A's nicked Glenn Abbott for their first two runs in the third inning. Glenn Burke walked, stole second and scored on a single by Mike Edwards. After Edwards was thrown out on an attempted steal, Wallis hit his homer. Jeff Newman doubled and Burke singled for another run in the fourth.

Tom Paciorek hit a two-run homer in the Mariners' half, but Revering then put the game out of Seattle's reach with his circuit clout in the sixth. Wallis and Revering singled for their second hits of the game in the eighth and Taylor Duncan accounted for the A's final run with a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
