Semien Has RBI Single in 10th as Rangers Beat Mariners 3-2
Marcus Semien had an RBI single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning, and the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 3–2 on Saturday. Mariners reliever Andrés Muñoz (3–1) hit Josh Smith with his first pitch after striking out Sam Haggerty to begin the 10th. Corey Seager–who homered in the third to give Texas a 2–1 lead–fell behind in the count 1–2 before working a walk to load the bases with one out for Semien. Semien fouled off fastballs from Muñoz reaching 100.2 mph and 99.7 mph before hitting the game-winner to right field on a 100.1 mph pitch with a full count. Shawn Armstrong (3–3) struck out two in a scoreless 10th for the win. Dominic Canzone led off the third with his fifth home run–a 425-foot shot to right field on an 0–2 pitch from Rangers rookie Kumar Rocker–to give the Mariners a 1–0 lead. J.P. Crawford had a two-out throwing error, and Seager followed with his ninth home run to give Texas the lead against Mariners starter Bryan Woo in the bottom of the inning. Randy Arozarena's RBI single in the sixth tied it 2–2. Woo pitched six innings and matched his career high with nine strikeouts for the second straight start. He gave up five hits and has pitched at least six innings in all 16 starts. Félix Hernández set the Mariners single-season record with 18 in 2014. Rocker allowed two runs and five hits in six innings with six strikeouts. He has allowed just four runs in his last three starts covering 16 1/3 innings. Texas has played four extra-inning games this season, with three coming in the last four games. Seattle won the series opener 7–6 in 12 innings Friday. Semien saw eight pitches in the 10th, and only one was slower than 99.4 mph. Seattle is 6–2 against Texas this season and has won 16 of the last 21 matchups. Mariners RHP Luis M. Castillo (4–5, 3.69 ERA) starts Sunday's finale against Rangers RHP Jack Leiter (4–5, 4.55).

Semien's 10th-inning walk-off single lifts Rangers over Mariners
June 28 - Marcus Semien's bases-loaded single to right field in the bottom of the 10th inning scored Alejandro Osuna with the winning run as the Texas Rangers defeated the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Saturday afternoon in the second of a three-game series between the American League West rivals in Arlington, Texas. Semien's decisive single -- the sixth walk-off hit of his career -- came off Mariners closer Andres Munoz (3-1) after Munoz hit Josh Smith with a pitch and walked Corey Seager to load the bases. Semien worked the count to full and fouled off two 100-mph pitches before pushing his single past second base in Seattle's drawn-in infield. Shawn Armstrong (3-3) was the beneficiary of the Rangers' uprising after striking out two in a perfect 10th inning as Texas' fifth pitcher of the game. The teams have split the first two games of this series, with the Mariners winning 7-6 in 12 innings on Friday. Both teams managed just six hits each on Saturday. Neither of the game's starting pitchers -- Bryan Woo for Seattle nor Kumar Rocker for the Rangers -- received a decision in the game that was decided in the final innings. Woo, who allowed two runs (neither of them earned) on five hits over six innings, remains the only pitcher in the Major Leagues to have gone at least six frames in every one of his 16 starts this season. Rocker gave up two runs on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in his third start since being recalled from Triple A Round Rock on June 15. The Mariners struck first when Dominic Canzone ripped a solo home run to right field in the third inning. Texas responded and took the lead in the bottom of the frame as Seager's blasted a two-run homer off Woo, with both the runs unearned because of a throwing error by J.P. Crawford with two out that extended the inning. Seattle got back to even on Randy Arozarena's two-out single to center in the sixth that drove in Cal Raleigh, who had reached on a single. --Field Level Media
