A three-run homer by George Brett in the 14th inning enabled the Royals to snap their eight-game losing streak by beating the Mariners, 7-5. After Dave Edler's squeeze bunt in the top of the 14th had given the Mariners a 5-4 lead, Willie Wilson opened the bottom of the frame with a single. U.L. Washington followed with a single and Brett then connected for the circuit. [The Sporting News]
