Mariners give up lead, but outlast Rangers in 12

June 28 - Miles Mastrobuoni's single in the top of the 12th inning drove home Randy Arozarena with the deciding run as the Seattle Mariners eked out a 7-6 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday in the opener of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas. Mastrobuoni's two-out hit off Shawn Armstrong (2-3), the eighth Texas pitcher, came after the substitute infielder made a clutch over-the-shoulder catch near the left field line in the bottom of the 11th to send the game to another inning. Eduard Bazardo (3-0) pitched the final two innings for Seattle, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Texas had won two straight. The Mariners outhit Texas 16-9 but left 14 runners on base and went 4-for-23 with runners in scoring position. Julio Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford led the Seattle attack with three hits and two runs each. The contest was billed as a battle between starters Logan Gilbert for Seattle and the Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi but neither figured in the decision. The Mariners scored in their first at-bat as Jorge Polanco's one-out single to right field drove home Rodriguez. Texas answered in the bottom of the inning on Corey Seager's two-out solo home run. Seattle regained the lead in the third. Crawford opened the frame with a single, went to third on a double by Rodriguez and scored on a fielder's choice groundout by Polanco. Arozarena followed with a sacrifice fly to allow Rodriguez to sprint home and make it 3-1. Jacob Webb relieved Eovaldi to start the fourth and gave up singles to Dominic Canzone, Ben Williamson and Cole Young to load the bases with no out. Webb coaxed Crawford to ground into a force play at home before Rodriguez plated Williamson with a groundout that expanded the lead to 4-1. Eovaldi allowed three runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts over three innings. In the sixth Seattle added to the lead when Crawford scooted home on a wild pitch by Rangers reliever Cole Winn. Texas finally got to Gilbert in the bottom of the sixth. Josh Smith singled to lead off the inning and moved to second when Gilbert hit Sam Haggerty with a pitch. Marcus Semien's one-out double drove in Smith and Adolis Garcia then singled to plate Haggerty and Semien. Gilbert gave up four runs on five hits, walking one and striking out seven in 5 1/3 innings. The Rangers tied the game in the seventh on a two-out single by Haggerty off Gabe Speier after a double by Smith. Donovan Solano's single to left field in the 10th drove home Dylan Moore but that tally was answered by the Rangers when Garcia's sacrifice fly plated Haggerty. --Field Level Media

(AP Photo/LM Otero) ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Miles Mastrobuoni had a two-out RBI single in the 12th inning after making an incredible catch to extend the game and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 7-6 on Friday night. Mastrobuoni hit a liner to left field that scored Randy Arozarena, who slid in just ahead of Ezequiel Durán's throw and catcher Kyle Higashioka's sweeping tag. The Rangers challenged the safe call, which was upheld after a replay review. Advertisement After entering as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning, Mastrobuoni stayed in the game at third base. He made a running, over-the-shoulder catch down the line in left on Corey Seager's opposite-way popup with the bases loaded to end the 11th. Eduard Bazardo (3-0), the seventh Mariners pitcher, worked the final two innings. Shawn Armstrong (2-3), who threw the top of the 12th, was the eighth Texas pitcher. J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodríguez, the top two batters in the batting other, both had three hits and scored twice as Seattle (42-39) reached the midpoint of its season. The Mariners never trailed, but blew a 5-1 lead they had in the sixth inning. Seager homered for the Rangers, his eighth of the season — all solo shots. Adolis García had three RBIs, including a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. Advertisement Donovan Solano had an RBI single in the Mariners 10th, on a soft liner off the tip of Durán's glove when he made a diving attempt to catch the ball. Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi allowed three runs and five hits in three innings after being activated from the injured list, exactly one month after his last start before going on the IL with elbow inflammation. Mariners starter Logan Gilbert struck out seven, but allowed four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. Key moment Mastrobuoni's incredible catch in the 11th that would have been fair if not caught, and would have ended the game. Key stat Advertisement The Rangers turned five inning-ending double plays, two in extra innings. Another double plays came in the seventh, right after shortstop Seager's fielding error ended a franchise-record 17-game streak without an error. Up next Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (7-4, 3.12 ERA) makes his 16th start of the season Saturday. He has thrown at least six innings every start, the longest season-opening streak for a Mariners pitcher since Randy Johnson in his first 20 starts in 1993. ___ AP MLB:

(AP Photo/Jason Redmond) SEATTLE (AP) — Trevor Story hit a two-run home run and Garrett Crochet pitched six innings of one-run ball as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Wednesday. Story went below the strike zone to get a hold of a sinker from Mariners starter Luis Castillo (4-5) in the fourth inning and deposited it beyond the wall in left-center field to break a 1-1 tie. Advertisement The Red Sox took two of three from the Mariners. Boston went in front 1-0 in the second inning on a solo shot by rookie Marcelo Mayer, but the Mariners evened the score in the bottom half of the frame when Crochet (7-4) skipped a wild pitch past home plate and Randy Arozarena scored standing up from third base. The left-hander was otherwise excellent, recording eight strikeouts while issuing no walks. He gave up six hits. Right-handed reliever Greg Weissert pitched the ninth to earn his third save, following a scoreless eighth inning from usual closer Aroldis Chapman, who retired the top of the Mariners' lineup in order. Key moment Advertisement The Mariners' best chance to tack on runs came in the second inning, putting two runners aboard with one away after Arozarena scored. But Miles Mastrobuoni grounded out and Dylan Moore struck out looking to end the threat. Key stat The Red Sox have won 10 of their last 13 games, and four straight series. Up next Both the Mariners and Red Sox are off on Thursday. Seattle RHP George Kirby (1-3, 5.96 ERA) will start for the Mariners on Friday against the Chicago Cubs. RHP Hunter Dobbins (4-1, 3.74) will start for the Red Sox on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. ___ AP MLB:

J.P. Crawford clubs grand slam to power Mariners over Guardians

June 15 - J.P. Crawford hit a grand slam and Emerson Hancock pitched seven scoreless innings as the Seattle Mariners completed a three-game sweep of the visiting Cleveland Guardians with a 6-0 victory Sunday afternoon. Crawford, celebrating his first Father's Day as a dad after the offseason birth of a daughter, went deep off Luis Ortiz (3-8) in a five-run second inning. Hancock (3-2), who was coming off three consecutive no-decisions in which he went at least five innings and allowed no more than two runs, gave up just two hits, walked one and struck out four. The right-hander faced 22 batters, one over the minimum for seven innings, and didn't allow a baserunner to reach second base. The lone hits off Hancock were a two-out single by Lane Thomas in the second inning and a leadoff single by Angel Martinez in the third. Martinez was immediately erased as Austin Hedges, playing for the first time since returning from the seven-day concussion list, grounded into a double play. Hancock walked Thomas with one out in the fifth, but got the next batter, Nolan Jones, to ground into another double play. Seattle's Randy Arozarena led off the bottom of the second with the first of his three walks and Rowdy Tellez blooped a double down the left-field line. With one out, Dominic Canzone walked to load the bases. Miles Mastrobuoni lined a single to right to open the scoring and Crawford hit a 1-2 sinker halfway up the seating area in the lower bowl in right field for his fifth career slam. The Mariners tacked on a run in the fifth as Arozarena drew a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on Mitch Garver's two-out single to left. Seattle's Casey Legumina and Eduard Bazardo each pitched a scoreless inning of relief to complete the shutout. The Guardians lost for the eighth time in their past 10 games. --Field Level Media

(AP Photo/John Froschauer) SEATTLE (AP) — Jorge Polanco hit a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-3 on Saturday night. With one out and the bases loaded, Polanco smacked a single up the middle off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase (4-1), who blew a save opportunity earlier in the frame when he threw a wild pitch that allowed Dylan Moore to score and tie the game at 3-all. Advertisement The Mariners jumped to an early lead by plating a pair of runs in the second off Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee. Cal Raleigh hit an RBI double to left and Polanco added a sacrifice fly. Bibee gave up two runs and four hits in five innings. But the Guardians scored the game's next three runs, including a solo home run by José Ramírez in the fifth, which increased his career-long on-base streak to 39 games, the longest active on-base streak in the majors. Those offensive contributions weren't enough to keep the Mariners from coming back, though, and Jackson Kowar (1-0) from earning his first victory of the season with a perfect ninth. Key moment Advertisement Dominic Canzone led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, and pinch runner Dylan Moore stole second base. Moore advanced to third on a textbook sacrifice bunt by Cole Young, then Moore scored with ease on Clase's wild pitch. Key stat Seattle starter George Kirby's streak of 68 consecutive starts walking two or few batters was snapped on Saturday with three walks. It is the third-longest streak in major league history, trailing only right-handers Carlos Silva and Cy Young. Up next RHP Emerson Hancock (2-2, 5.04 ERA) will start for the Mariners on Sunday. RHP Luis Ortiz (3-7, 4.26) will start for the Guardians in the final game of the three-game set. ___ AP MLB:
