The Mariners came from behind with two runs in the ninth inning and edged the Red Sox, 3-2. The tying run scored on a double by Julio Cruz, single by Joe Simpson and double by Leon Roberts. After Dan Meyer was walked intentionally, Willie Horton greeted reliever Jim Wright with a single -- his fourth hit and second RBI of the game -- to send the decisive run across the plate.
