A six-run outburst in the fifth inning carried the Indians to an 8-5 victory over the Mariners. The Mariners had a 3-2 edge going into the fifth when Buddy Bell led off with a single and Andre Thornton smashed a home run. John Montague relieved starter Paul Mitchell and gave up a pair of walks, an RBI single by Duane Kuiper and a two-run single by Tom Veryzer before Tom House came on to walk in the sixth Tribe run.
