A grand-slam by Dave Roberts powered the Mariners to a 5-3 victory in the second game for a split of a twi-night doubleheader with the Angels, who won the first game, 7-5, in 10 innings on the batting heroics of Danny Goodwin. In the opener, the Angels had two-run homers by Ken Landreaux and Dave Chalk, but the Mariners scored five runs in the sixth inning, including three on a round-tripper by Bob Stinson, before Goodwin hit for the circuit to tie the score in the ninth. Then, in the 10th, Goodwin drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single to provide the Angels with their winning margin.

In the nightcap, Bill Plummer singled in the third inning and both Julio Cruz and Craig Reynolds beat out bunts to fill the sacks and set the stage for Roberts' slam, the Mariners' seventh jackpot wallop of the season. [The Sporting News]
