Scorring all their runs in the seventh inning, the Mariners shaded the Rangers, 3-2. With one out in the top of the seventh, Richie Zisk singled and went to second on a groundout. After a walk to Jeff Burroughs, Joe Simpson blooped an RBI single to center to tie the game at 1-1. Paul Serna then singled to plate Burroughs, and Bud Bulling followed with a run-scoring single.
