Dave Revering, Jeff Newman and Mitchell Page hit homers in support of Steve McCatty's pitching as the A's defeated the Mariners, 8-3. Revering rapped a three-run drive in the first inning. Newman added a run with a single in the first and then matched Revering's three RBIs by connecting for the circuit with a man on base in the fifth. Page added a solo shot in the sixth.
