The Mariners edged the Angels, 6-5, on Leon Roberts' 12th-inning single. The decisive bingle scored Dan Meyer, who led off the frame with a double and advanced to third on a groundout.

The game-winning hit came off reliever Paul Hartzell, who had not allowed a run in five previous appearances. Larry Milbourne's RBI single in the top of the 11th had given the Mariners a 5-4 lead, but the Angels tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Bobby Grich singled and scored on Don Baylor's two-out double.
