Making his 600th start, Perry gained the 287th victory of his major league career, good for 14th place on the all-time list, as the Yankees defeated the Mariners, 9-3. Perry's season record was 2-1 with the Yankees and 8-10 counting previous service with the Rangers.

The Yankees, who pulled 2½ games ahead of the Orioles in the East Division race, beat the Mariners with a six-run outburst in the fifth inning. Bucky Dent and Jim Spencer each batted in one run. Aurelio Rodriguez knocked in two, and two others scored on wild pitches. [The Sporting News]
