Seattle Mariners Take a 1-0 Lead in Series Over St. Louis Cardinals

Seattle’s Kingdome will be the site of Game 1 featuring the St. Louis Cardinals against the Seattle Mariners. St. Louis will be sending right-hander Rick Wise (15-9, 2.48) against southpaw Floyd Bannister (14-10, 3.88). This game features two starting pitchers who got roughed up in their playoff appearances. Wise had two tough outings in the NLCS, going 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in his 2 playoff starts while Bannister got a no-decision in his only playoff start while giving up 4 runs in his 5.1 innings in Game 2 of the ALCS.

Seattle got on the board first in a big way scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the first inning. A pair of singles by Paul Molitor and Dave Stapleton was followed by a successful double steal. A Ruppert Jones single scoring both runners was followed by a Richie Zisk triple, scoring Jones. A sacrifice fly by Bill Buckner ended the scoring by Seattle who took an early 4-0 lead.

In the 2nd, a Paul Molitor single scored Andre Thornton to make the score 5-0. St. Louis got on the board in the 3rd when a Billy Sample double scored Keith Hernandez to make the score 5-1. Seattle bumped the score back to 6-1 when a Paul Molitor triple was followed by an RBI-double by Dave Stapleton.

Seattle added 2 insurance runs in the 7th on a 2-run homer to left by Richie Zisk who has remarkably homered in 4 straight playoff games!!!

St. Louis scored 2 in the 8th on a Billy Sample 2-run homer off of Bannister to reduce the score to 8-3. Gary Templeton added a solo homer in the 9th off of Seattle reliever Brian Kingman but that finished the scoring as Seattle won 8-4 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Floyd Bannister (1-0) pitched 8 innings giving up 3 runs on 7 hits (8 K’s, 3 BB’s) to earn the win. Rick Wise (0-3) had a rough outing again giving 7 runs on 8 hits in 6.2 innings to take the loss. Richie Zisk took game MVP honors going 2/4 with 3 RBI’s and 2 runs while homering for his 4th straight playoff game.
