Driving in three runs with a triple and single, Larry Cox paced the Mariners to a 7-4 triumph over the Twins. The Mariners scored four times in the third inning as Cox and Willie Horton each hit RBI singles and Julio Cruz and Bruce Bochte each produced run-scoring doubles. Cox unloaded a two-run triple in the sixth stanza and the Mariners' final marker came in the eighth frame on a run-scoring single by Mario Mendoza. [The Sporting News]
