Although collecting 11 hits, the A's were unable to score and lost to the Mariners, 1-0. Rick Langford, who was the victim of the tough-luck defeat, gave up only four hits, but the Mariners pushed over a run in the third inning on singles by Leon Roberts and Bob Stinson, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Larry Milbourne.
