Every batter in the Seattle lineup participated in a 16-hit attack as the Mariners humiliated the Red Sox, 13-5. Leon Roberts, who hit a single, double and sacrifice fly, drove in four runs. The Red Sox had the game's only homer by Butch Hobson among their 13 hits and trailed only 6-5 until the Mariners broke away with two runs in the eighth and five more in the ninth.
