In a wild slugfest, the Blue Jays outlasted the Mariners, 13-12, in 10 innings. The Jays trailed, 9-6, going into the top of the ninth but tallied six runs in the frame, two Mariner errors contributing to the scoring. The Mariners came back with three markers in the bottom of the inning, one coming in on a bases-loaded walk and the other two on a single by Dan Meyer.

In the Blue Jay 10th, Rick Bosetti singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Bob Bailor. Roy Howell was given an intentional walk and both runners moved up on a wild pitch. John Mayberry was issued an intentional walk and Otto Velez hit a slow roller down the third base line that went for the game-winning single. [The Sporting News]
