A two-run homer by Tom Paciorek was the key hit as the Mariners defeated the White Sox, 3-1. Paciorek's blast came in the first inning with Joe Simpson aboard via a single. Seattle picked up another run in the fifth on an RBI single by Simpson. Bob Stoddard, although needing relief, got credit for his second major league victory in as many starts. [The Sporting News]
