Willie Horton rapped three singles and drove in a run with each hit to pace the Mariners to a 6-4 victory over the White Sox. Ruppert Jones knocked in a run with a triple and scored on a single by Horton in the first inning. Horton added his second RBI single in the third.

After the White Sox came back to tie the score at 4-4, Julio Cruz walked in the seventh and scored on a triple by Bruce Bochte. Horton followed with a single for an insurance counter. [The Sporting News]
