Jerry Narron, who had driven in only four runs in Seattle's first 36 games, knocked in three as the Mariners downed the Indians, 6-3. After spotting the Tribe a 2-0 lead, the Mariners tied the score in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Dave Henderson and infield out by Narron, and went in front in the third on singles by Dave Edler, Bruce Bochte and Jeff Burroughs. Narron stroked RBI singles in the fourth and fifth frames. [The Sporting News]
