GM 1  Pineiro vs Peters  
Seattle started out strong getting a 2 run double by Brett Boone in the 1st w/2 out and 2 more in the 3rd off a shaky Gary Peters who was yanked early losing 4-0.

GM 2 Young vs Burns
Seattle again starts out fast getting 3 in the first off Burns (8-1) thanks to a lead off Aparicio error, 2 walks and a 2 run single by Alvin Davis.  Sox narrowed lead to 3-2 when Mariners come up with 4 in the 7th, 2 coming on a Alvin Davis homer who had 4 rbi's for the day.  Cy Young front runner Matt Young the win (7-1,) Burns the loss (8-2). Suzuki 3 hits, 3 runs.

GM 3 Rogovin vs Langston
Old fashioned pitching duel as Seattle takes a 1-0 lead in 3rd on a infield error on pitcher Saul Rogovin.  In Sox 5th Johnny Romano starts off with dreaded lead off walk. Ramirez singles him to 3rd and Chris Singleton singles.  Manny to 3rd with 0 out. Grebeck strikes out. Luis Aparcio then squeezed home Ramirez for what turned out to be the winning run. Langston CG loss (4-2). Rogovin the win throwing 2 hit ball in 8 innings. Roberto Hernandez 7th save in 9th.

3-2 Seattle - Series tied 2-2

GM 5 Madritsch vs Burns
Mariners get on board (again) quick as Alvin Davis hits a 1st inning 2- run blast. Little used Bill Nahorodny makes it 2-1 with run scoring 2 out single in 2nd. In bottom of 3rd things fall apart for Seattle as Frank Thomas hits a 2- run homer and Bill Nahorodny hits a 3-run homer in WSox 6 run 3rd to take a seemingly commanding 7-2 lead. But Seattle came up with a big crooked number in their half next inning with Boone hitting a 3 run homer and Brantly a solo shot right after to make it 7-6. 2 batters later catcher Johjima singles home Coles to tie game at 7. In bottom of 4th Sox take back lead when Floyd Robinson grounds into a DP to give the WSox a precarious 8-7 lead.

Sox relievers again come through. 5 sox relievers hurl 6 innings of shutout ball and no one scored again as Sox take close series.  Romo the loss Forester the win. Hernandez 8th save.

Little used Bill Nahorodny had 1 rbi in reg season.. 4 rbi's in this game.
8-7 WSox - Chicago wins series 3-2
