After building up an early 9-1 lead, the Red Sox outlasted the Mariners, 10-7. The Red Sox registered five tallies in the second inning as Glenn Hoffman, Gary Allenson and Rick Burleson stroked RBI singles.

Dwight Evans smacked an RBI double and Allenson scored on the front end of a double steal. Hoffman and Burleson singled home third-inning runs and Allenson doubled in two more in that same frame. The Mariners' comeback featured two homers by Dan Meyer and one by Jerry Narron. [The Sporting News]
