A four-run outburst in the seventh inning broke a 7-7 tie and sent the previously winless A's to a 14-7 triumph over the Mariners. The outburst started when Joe Wallis and Mitchell Page were hit by pitches.

John Montague relieved Rick Honeycutt on the mound for the Mariners and yielded a single to Dave Revering that loaded the bases. A single by Dwayne Murphy drove in one run, a single by Jeff Newman plated two more and the final marker of the frame scored on a bases-loaded walk to Miguel Dilone. [The Sporting News]
