The Mariners made Rene Lachemann's debut as manager successful by pasting the Brewers, 12-1. Lachemann replaced Maury Wills as Seattle's pilot earlier in the day after Wills was dismissed following the club's 6-18 start.

Winning pitcher Mike Parrott, 1-16 last season, broke his personal 18-game losing streak, not having won since opening day of 1980. The Mariners' attack was led by Jim Anderson, who singled in a run in the second inning, doubled home two tallies in the fourth and drove in two more with a bases-loaded single in the seventh.
