Posting his third complete game and first shutout of the season, Ed Figueroa pitched the Yankees to a 5-0 decision over the Mariners. The Yankees scored a run in the fourth inning on consecutive singles by Graig Nettles, Reggie Jackson and Lou Piniella and added four more in the seventh with a three-run homer by Jackson climaxing the assault.
