Homers by Jerry Narron, Willie Horton and Dave Edler powered the Mariners to a 7-3 victory over the Royals. The Mariners scored five runs in the first inning, two on a single by Dan Meyer and three on a homer by Narron. Horton clouted a solo round-tripper in the third and Edler blasted a bases-empty shot in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
