Steve McCatty turned in a marathon effort for the A's in the opener of a doubleheader, pitching 14 innings but losing to the Mariners, 2-1, before Rick Langford notched his eighth straight victory with his 15th straight complete game, hurling the A's to a 6-1 triumph in the nightcap. Dan Meyer beat McCatty in the lidlifter, leading off the 14th inning with a homer.

In the second game, the A's scored in the third inning on an RBI single by Mitchell Page and picked up four runs in the fourth on an RBI double by Jim Essian, squeeze bunt by Jeff Cox and run-scoring singles by Rickey Henderson and Dwayne Murphy. Tony Armas drilled a homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
