The Seattle Mariners withstood a fine game by Texas left fielder Billy Williams at Globe Life Field, to upend the Rangers, 10-5. Williams slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Andy Benes picked up the win with 8.2 innings of work. He allowed 5 runs on 9 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 9. On the season, he is now 1-1. At 4-2, the Mariners have played well so far.

In the top of the fifth, Seattle designated hitter Ted Kluszewski had a productive at-bat. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out, Kluszewski stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 4-1, Seattle. For the game, he went 3 for 6 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

"The credit goes to our offense," said Seattle manager Tyler Jorgensen.
