A grand slam by Lenny Randle climaxed a five-run 10th inning that lifted the Mariners to an 8-3 triumph over the Twins. The score was 3-3 when Richie Zisk opened the 10th with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Kim Allen, who raced to third on a single by Bruce Bochte and scored on a single by Dan Meyer. Two outs later, Rick Auerbach drew a walk to load the bases and Randle then drilled a ball deep into the right field stands. [The Sporting News]
