Graig Nettles knocked in three runs to pace the Yankees to a 6-3 decision over the Mariners. The Yanks scored twice in the first inning on walks to Willie Randolph and Joe Lefebvre, a double by Nettles and single by Jim Spencer.

They added three more in the fifth on an RBI double by Nettles, sacrifice fly by Jim Spencer and RBI single by Bobby Brown. Nettles' solo homer in the seventh completed the N.Y. scoring. [The Sporting News]
