Mike Morgan fired a three-hitter to record his first major league victory after nine losses when the A's captured a 2-1 decision from the Mariners. The A's scored both runs in the first inning when Mariner first baseman Bruce Bochte allowed Mike Edwards' bases-loaded popup to drop safely and was charged with an error. Floyd Bannister absorbed the loss despite allowing only four hits.
