With Paul Mitchell tossing a four hitter, the Mariners snapped the Yankees' seven-game winning streak and Catfish Hunter's string of six straight victories, 3-0. A passed ball by Thurman Munson led to an unearned run in the first inning. Bill Stein singled and scored on a double by Dan Meyer in the second. The final run counted on a triple by Craig Reynolds and sacrifice fly by Ruppert Jones in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
