A grand slam by Dan Meyer, who drove in a club-record seven runs, powered the Mariners to a 12-4 thrashing of the Yankees. With the score 3-3 in the fifth inning, Julio Cruz led off with a base on balls. Pinch-hitter Leon Roberts followed with a two-bagger and Bruce Bochte drew a walk to load the bases. Meyer then unloaded a homer to right-center.
