The Rangers were holding onto a 4-2 lead going into the top of the fifth when Charlie Hough's knuckler got destroyed by the Mariners. Back to back doubles by Jack Perconte and Spike Owen and an eventual bases-clearing triple by Larry Milbourne gave Seattle a five-run inning.
Jim Beattie didn't have his best day but Mike Stanton and Ed Nunez contributed three scoreless innings of relief to seal the deal.

This game proved to be a disaster for the Yankees outfield. Omar Moreno and Dave Winfield collided on a Tony Fernandez double. Winfield is out for the next 12 games and Moreno will be out for 20. Luis Leal took advantage of the catastrophe and scattered six hits and four walks for a complete game shutout.
