Blasting off with four runs in the first inning, the Mariners went on to an 8-3 victory over the Blue Jays. Julio Cruz walked, Dan Meyer singled and Tom Paciorek followed with a double to plate Cruz. Meyer also came in when shortstop Alfredo Griffin bobbled the outfield relay. Two outs later, Jim Maler singled to chase Paciorek home and Joe Simpson capped the outburst with a triple.
