Unfurling a six-hitter, Bob Stanley pitched the Red Sox to a 2-0 victory over the Mariners. Both runs scored in the third inning on a double by Bob Montgomery, a single by Jerry Remy, who then stole second, and a single by Rick Burleson. The win was the seventh straight for the Red Sox, while the Mariners dropped their 11th in a row, the longest losing streak in the club's history. [The Sporting News]
