A four-run start in the first inning sent the Mariners on their way to a 7-2 victory over the Blue Jays. Julio Cruz walked to open the M's getaway and Ruppert Jones followed with a homer. Bruce Bochte singled and stopped at third on a double by Willie Horton, who was tagged out when he overslid second. However, Dan Meyer came through with a double, driving in Bochte, and Bob Stinson singled to score Meyer with the fourth run of the frame. [The Sporting News]
