On paper this looked like a tight pitcher's duel, but it didn't quite play out that way. Charlie Lea was strong but John Tudor stumbled...
In the top of the third inning Mike Ramsey led off with a single and eventually scored on a Tim Raines single. The bases were juiced for Ramsey in the third and he came through with a 2-RBI base knock to plate Gary Carter and Pete Rose. Then in the sixth he doubled home Derrell Thomas. Ramsey only had 3 RBI for the Expos in the real 1984 and equalled that many in just this game.

Hall of Famers in the Game - Tim Raines, Andre Dawson, Gary Carter
Dave Stewart escaped a couple of jams in the first two innings but got tagged in the top of the third. Jack Perconte led off the inning with a double and two batters later scored when Alvin Davis did the same. But after the third inning Stewart was lights-out. Only two more Mariners reached base the rest of the way!
Meanwhile, the Rangers bats were uncharacteristically hot. Six different hitters recorded an RBI. Billy Sample led the way with three hits, including a triple while Marv Foley homered.

Losing Pitcher - Mark Langston
Player of the Game - Stewart, CG, 9K's, R, 5H's
