Seattle 7. Kansas City 2: Two Kansas City errors opened and concluded a five-run ninth inning for Seattle that also featured a flyball that went for a two-run triple. The victim of the sloppy fielding was reliever Tom Burgmeier. Kansas City starter Jim Rooker allowed two runs in seven innings and hit a solo homer off Seattle's George Brunet. The winning pitcher was John O'Donoghue, who threw two scoreless innings of relief.  Tommy Harper went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs and an RBI.

Player of the Game: Tommy Harper, Seattle
