The Mariners snapped Dave Stieb's 23-inning scoreless pitching streak and the won opener of a twi-night doubleheader, 7-2, but the Blue Jays came back to triumph in the nightcap, 7-5. Stieb's streak ended in the second inning of the lidlifter when Julio Cruz drew a pass with the bases loaded and Larry Milbourne followed with a two-run single. The M's scored their four other runs, two on a homer by Willie Horton in the fifth.

In the nightcap, John Mayberry belted a three-run homer for the Blue Jays and Al Woods had four hits. [The Sporting News]
