The Mariners top the Rangers, 9–7, as Ruben Sierra strokes five hits, including a double. Seattle rookie DH Ron Wright makes his ML debut in the game, going 0–for–3 and accounting for six outs on a strikeout, double play, and triple play. He becomes the 2nd player since 1950 to hit into a TP in his debut (Leo Foster did it for Atlanta in 1971) when Kenny Rogers fields his comebacker in the 4th. It is Wright's only appearance this year. Rogers allows a run in six innings, but the bullpen almost blows it for him. Alex Rodriguez has a pair of homers for Texas. |
