A three-run rally in the ninth inning carried the Mariners to a 5-3 triumph over the Twins. With the Mariners trailing, 3-2, Leon Roberts led off the ninth with a double. After one out, Bruce Bochte walked and Bill Stein singled to plate Roberts with the tying tally.

Joe Simpson then singled to center, bringing home Larry Milbourne, pinch-runner for Bochte. A sacrifice fly by Ted Cox produced the final run. Stein belted a two-run homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
