 The first six innings of the game were largely a pitchers'duel between Seattle staff ace Randy Johnson and California's Mark Langston, the Mariners' former staff ace who was traded to Montreal for Johnson in 1989. Seattle put runners in scoring position in the first and fifth innings, but only scored one run in the fifth when Dan Wilson scored on a single by Vince Coleman. Johnson was perfect — that is, he allowed no runners to reach base — until the 6th inning when Rex Hudler singled but was stranded at second base.
