Montes hits leadoff homer in the 9th to lift the Mariners over the Rockies, 5-4

DENVER (AP) --- Lazaro Montes led off the ninth inning with a 426-foot home run
and the Seattle Mariners beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 on Friday night.
The Mariners are six games back of the Chicago White Sox for the third AL wild
card with eight games remaining.
J.P. Crawford hit his 18th career leadoff homer, Randy Arozarena had three hits
and Carlos Vargas (2-0) got one out for Seattle (72-82).
Montes' blast into the second deck off Jordan Romano (0-4) gave Seattle its
second straight win. Cole Carrigg led off the bottom of the ninth with a
single, stole second but was picked off by Andres Munoz, who struck out Mickey
Moniak to pick up his 28th save.
Colorado's TJ Rumfield singled to extend his on-base streak to 22 games, the
longest by a rookie in franchise history. The Rockies (56-98) are on the verge
of being the first team since the 1965 New York Mets to lose 100 or more games
in four straight seasons.
Rockies rookie starter Gabriel Hughes pitched 4 2/3 innings and remained
winless in 13 starts and 14 games. He needed 34 pitches to get through the
first but retired 11 straight before a one-out walk in the fifth.
Crawford hit his 13th home run and Josh Naylor added a two-run single in the
three-run first inning. The Rockies scored single runs in the first and fourth
against starter Bryan Woo, who allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings, and took
the lead in the fifth on Jake McCarthy's RBI triple and Connor Norby's
run-scoring single.
The Mariners tied it on Dominic Canzone's sacrifice fly in the seventh.
