A five-hitter by Glenn Abbott carried the Mariners to a 5-2 victory over the Red Sox. Leon Roberts led off the Mariner fifth with a single and Bruce Bochte followed with a homer. Later in the inning, a single by Bill Stein and double by Bill Plummer added another marker. The Mariners' final two runs came in the eighth on a bases-loaded single by Dan Meyer.
