Lasting only one-third of an inning, Dave Lemanczyk drew his seventh straight defeat when the Mariners beat the Blue Jays, 9-6. Lemanczyk gave up three hits and three walks and was charged with three runs. The Blue Jays never caught up.

The Mariners got a pinch-homer from Leon Roberts in the fourth and iced the decision with three runs in the fifth. Bill Stein batted in one run with a triple and two others were forced across the plate on four straight walks. Rico Carty homered for the Blue Jays. [The Sporting News]
