After 6 2/3 hitless innings, Dennis Martinez yielded a pair of singles while pitching the Orioles to a 5-0 victory over the Mariners. Bill Stein got the first hit off Martinez and Ruppert Jones added a single in eighth. A double by Doug DeCinces and homer by Lee May in the fourth provided more than enough runs for Martinez to win.
