Floyd Bannister recorded his second shutout of the season, giving up just two hits -- a first-inning single by Dwight Evans and a ninth-inning double by Carney Lansford -- as the Mariners triumphed over the Red Sox, 2-0. Seattle's runs came in the fourth inning when Tom Paciorek was hit by a pitch and Gary Gray followed with a home run. [The Sporting News]
