Breaking a tight game apart, the Mariners batted around in the 10th inning and scored five runs to defeat the Rangers, 6-1. With one out, Steve Braun and Dan Meyer singled and both scored on a double by Ruppert Jones to kayo Bert Blyleven. After Darold Knowles relieved, Dave Collins singled.

Juan Bernhardt followed with a single and when Juan Beniquez committed both fielding and throwing errors in handling the ball, Jones and Collins scored. Knowles then hit Bob Stinson with a pitch and yielded the Mariners' final run on a single by Craig Reynolds. [The Sporting News]
