Giants 2, Braves 1 ATLANTA SAN FRAN SEATTLE Mark McGwire hit his major' league-leading 27th homer, a two-run shot in the eighth inning Wednesday that gave the Oakland Athletics a 3-1 victory over Seattle in the Mariners' first game under Japanese-led ownership. The $106 million sale by Jeff Smulyan to' The Baseball Club of Seattle was completed late Tuesday night and some of the new Mariners owners watched the game from Smulyan's old owner's box.

John Ellis, chief executive officer, and Chuck Armstrong, club president, were in the Kingdome for the game. A crowd of 21,127 saw the Mariners lose for the 10th time in 12 games. The A's completed a three- game sweep and improved to 6-0 against the Mariners. Mike Moore (8-7) broke his four-game losing streak, giving up one run and four hits in seven innings. Dennis Eckersley pitched the ninth for his third save of the series.

He converted his 28th straight save chance of the season and 32nd in a row in two years, extending his major league records. Harold Baines singled with one out in the eighth and McGwire followed with a 427-foot homer to center field off Mark Grant (0-1). It was McGwire's first homer of the series but fourth in 1 1 games. "It was a fastball," McGwire said. "In fact, it was the first fastball I got over the plate in the whole series." Seattle's Jay Buhner had hit a two-out homer, his 10th, to tie the score at 1 in the seventh.

Twins 2, Angels 1 ANAHEIM, Calif.

Todd Hundley opened the 12th with a single off Jim Bullinger (0-1), and pinch-hitter Willie Randolph and Johnson followed with singles. Bill Pecota walked, loading the bases, and Noboa flied to medium center.

Lee Guetterman (1-0) pitched 1 innings for his first league victory and Anthony Young got three outs for his first save. Chicago had a chance to win in the ninth when Kal Daniels, making his first appearance since being acquired from Los Angeles, singled and Jose Vizcaino doubled. But the sore-kneed Daniels was thrown out at the plate by first baseman Eddie Murray, who relayed the throw from right fielder Bobby Bonilla. Astros 3, Reds 2 HOUSTON Eric Anthony homered off Scott Bankhead leading off the ninth as Houston completed a three-game sweep. Cincinnati starter Tom Browning suffered an injury to his left leg in a sixth-inning collision with catcher Scott Servais.

Doug Jones (5-5) pitched two hitless innings for the victory, Houston's fourth in five games. Anthony, who has 33 RBIs in his past 47 games, hit his sixth home run on the first pitch of the ninth by hit, Noboa's sacrifice down Cubs in 12th AL Standings California 32 45 .416 14 2-8 L4 Seattle 31 47 .397 15V2 2-8 L3 TUESDAY'S RESULTS New YorkjS, KansasCltvO Boston 8, Detroit 5 Cleveland 5, Chicago 4 Baltimore 1 2, Milwaukee 3 Texas 13 Minnesota 2, California 0 Oakland 4, Seattle 2 WEDNESDAY'S RESULTS Baltimore 7, Milwaukee 4 New York 7, Kansas Citv6 Toronto 3, Texas 2, 1 0 Innings Oakland 3, Seattle 1 Minnesota 2, California 1 Boston 6, Detroit 4 ChicagoS, ClevelandS TODAY'S GAMES Boston (Clemens 9-5) at Chicago (Alvarez 0-2), 5:05 p.m. Milwaukee (Robinson 1-3) at Kansas City (Appier 8-3), 5:35 p.m. Only games scheduled.
