Homers by Larry Cox and Willie Horton powered a six-run fifth inning that lifted the Mariners to a 9-8 triumph over the Orioles. Horton's blast -- a two-run shot -- tied the score at 6-6 and sent Orioles starter Scott McGregor to the showers. Paul Hartzell relieved and was rapped for two singles before Cox delivered a three-run round-tripper that gave Seattle a 9-6 lead. [The Sporting News]
