A bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning gave the Mariners the winning run in a 4-3 triumph over the White Sox. Bill Stein lashed a one-out triple. Bobby Valentine and Leon Roberts then received intentional walks to load the bases, but the strategy failed when Ruppert Jones walked to force in pinch-runner Joe Simpson with the game-ending tally.
