Arozarena scores in 9th as Mariners snap losing streak with 4-3 win over Twins

SEATTLE (AP) --- Randy Arozarena scored in the ninth inning on Cal Raleigh's
groundout to first base, and the Seattle Mariners snapped a three-game losing
streak with a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Arozarena led off the inning with a double off Andrew Morris (4-3) and advanced
to third on a flyout to deep left field from Dominic Canzone. After the Twins
intentionally walked Julio Rodrguez, Raleigh hit a sharp grounder to first
baseman Royce Lewis, who stepped on first for the out.
Arozarena broke for the plate, and Lewis' throw home was too late. Arozarena
reached base three times and scored three of Seattle's four runs.
Andrs Muoz (4-4) got the win for Seattle. Gabe Speier pitched two-thirds of
an inning before Muoz came in with two outs in the eighth.
The Mariners struck early, taking a two-run lead in the first inning. Rodriguez
drove one in with a bases-loaded infield single, and Mitch Garver drew a
bases-loaded walk off Connor Prielipp to end an 11-pitch at-bat
Mariners starter Logan Gilbert pitched well early, allowing just one baserunner
through the first four innings. But Luke Keaschall hit a solo homer in the
fifth, and Trevor Larnach hit another in the sixth to cut Seattle's lead to 3-2.
The Twins tied it in the seventh, when Brooks Lee scored from third on a
groundout from Victor Caratini.
Gilbert allowed three earned runs on five hits over seven innings, with six
strikeouts.
