Mariners hit 4 homers for 2nd straight game, beat Diamondbacks 5-1
SEATTLE (AP) --- Luke Raley and Julio Rodrguez homered for the second straight
game --- two of four solo shots by Seattle in the first three innings --- and
the Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Saturday night behind seven
shutout innings from Bryan Woo.
Woo (5-3) allowed only two fifth-inning singles while matching his season high
with nine strikeouts in a fifth straight victory for the Mariners --- their
longest winning streak of the season.
The 26-year-old right-hander did not allow a baserunner until Adrian Del
Castillo singled with one out in the fifth, striking out five in a row at one
point.
Cooper Criswell allowed a hit in the eighth, and Alex Hoppe issued the game's
only walk with two outs in the ninth and then failed to cover home on a wild
pitch allowing Geraldo Perdomo to score from second and spoil the shutout.
Raley homered for the 13th time as Seattle grabbed the lead against Ryne Nelson
(2-4) in the second. Dominic Canzone hit his sixth homer one out later for a
2-0 advantage.
Rookie Colt Emerson led off the third with his second homer, and Rodrguez
followed one out later with his 12th for a 4-0 lead. Rodrguez has 10 homers in
May, two more than he's ever hit in a single month.
Randy Arozarena reached on a two-base throwing error by Jose Fernandez to begin
the sixth before scoring on Cole Young's sacrifice fly to make it 5-0, leading
to Nelson's exit after 99 pitches.
The right-hander, who had never surrendered more than two home runs in any of
his previous 89 starts, allowed five runs --- four earned --- on seven hits in
5 1/3 innings.
The AL West-leading Mariners (30-29) move above .500 for the first time since
they were 3-2.
Seattle hit four home runs in a 7-6 10-inning victory in the opener. The last
time the Marisners hit as many as eight homers in the first two games of a
series was in 1999 when they had 10 against the Twins.
