Laying down a club-record barrage of six homers, the Mariners humiliated the Tigers, 11-2. Bruce Bochte and Ruppert Jones each blasted three-run round-trippers and Willie Horton, John Hale, Dan Meyer and Larry Cox contributed solo blasts. Bochte's clout came in the first inning and followed walks to Julio Cruz and Jones. Jones connected in the eighth frame. [The Sporting News]
