A two-run homer by Fred Lynn in the first inning triggered the Angels to a 6-1 verdict over the Mariners as Geoff Zahn went the distance, spacing 10 hits. The Angels picked up a run in the second on an RBI double by Bobby Grich and another in the fifth when Butch Hobson tripled and came across on a passed ball. [The Sporting News]
