Mario Guerrero went 4-for-5 and drove in two runs to pace the A's to a 5-2 triumph over the Mariners. The A's broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the ninth inning. In the winning rally, runs were produced with singles by Tony Armas and Guerrero and a double by Mike Heath. The Mariners had manufactured a deadlock in the seventh on a bases-loaded grounder by Dan Meyer and single by Bruce Bochte. [The Sporting News]
