. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Stout relief pitching by Shane Rawley carried the Mariners to a 1-0 triumph over the Yankees. Rawley came on in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and two out and got Jim Spencer on a groundout. He struck out Reggie Jackson with two on base to end a seventh-inning threat. The game's lone run came in the sixth when Tom Paciorek led off with an infield single, advanced to third on a single by Jeff Burroughs and scored on a sacrifice flay by Gary Gray.
