A bases-loaded single by Tom Paciorek with two out in the seventh inning enabled the Mariners to defeat the A's, 3-2, for their first victory in 11 meetings between the clubs this season. The winning rally began with a single by Bruce Bochte, who was sacrificed to second. After Larry Milbourne received an intentional walk, Craig Reynolds then strolled on four straight pitches to load the sacks. Elias Sosa relieved starter John Henry Johnson and Paciorek then looped his hit to short center. [The Sporting News]
