A three-run homer by Bob Stinson capped a four-run second inning that propelled the Mariners to a 7-2 triumph over the Royals. Stinson, hitting .143 entering the game, connected for his first round-tripper of the season with Tom Paciorek and Jim Anderson on base. Paciorek drilled a leadoff homer in the fourth frame and Bruce Bochte and Joe Simpson had RBI singles in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
