Coming from behind, the Mariners scored four times in the ninth inning to edge the Tigers, 4-3. The winning surge began when Rodney Craig singled with one out, advanced to second on a walk to Bill Stein and scored on a single by Ted Cox. After Bob Stinson walked to load the bases and was replaced by pinch-runner Tom Paciorek, Aurelio Lopez took over for Jack Morris on the mound for the Tigers.

A single by Joe Simpson drove in two runs and tied the score. Jim Anderson was walked intentionally to reload the bases. Dan Meyer then hit a grounder to first baseman Lance Parrish, who threw wild to the plate as Paciorek scored the winning run. [The Sporting News]
