Tom Brunansky, a 20-year-old rookie outfielder, hit a pair of two-run homers to lead the Angels to a 7-4 victory over the Mariners. Brunansky's first round-tripper came in the second inning after a leadoff walk to Brian Downing. His second circuit swat came in the sixth with Downing aboard via a single. Fred Lynn belted a two-run homer in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
