Pushing across a run in the bottom of the 11th inning, the Mariners shaded the Royals, 5-4. The game was tied, 4-4, when Bruce Bochte lashed a two-out double and scored as Willie Horton hit a hot smash off the glove of pitcher Dan Quisenberry for a single. George Brett sent the game into overtime with a homer and both clubs then tallied in the 10th inning, K.C. on an error and Seattle on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Narron. [The Sporting News]
