ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) --- Dominic Canzone put Seattle ahead with a three-run
homer two pitches before Randy Arozarena also went deep in the seventh inning,
and the Mariners rallied for a 6-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
Canzone, who had three hits and four RBIs, pulled his 16th home run of the
season just inside the right-field foul pole off reliever Cole Winn for a 4-3
lead. The Mariners avoided a third consecutive loss in a four-game series that
started as a matchup of the top two teams in the AL West.
The defending division champion Mariners stopped a four-game losing streak and
won for the first time in six tries at the home of the Rangers this season.
Seattle moved back in front of Houston for second place, 1 1/2 games behind
Texas.
Gabe Speier (2-2) retired all four batters he faced in the sixth and seventh,
and Andrs Muoz struck out the side in the ninth for his 18th save in 23
chances.
Winn (5-3) entered with a 3-1 lead after consecutive singles by Colt Emerson
and Cole Young. Julio Rodrguez popped out on the first pitch before Canzone
drilled a 2-0 splitter about 20 rows up. Arozarena's solo homer, his 12th of
the season, went into the Texas bullpen in right-center field.
The third meeting between Seattle's Logan Gilbert and Texas' Jacob deGrom this
season ended in a no-decision for both. Gilbert allowed five hits and three
runs over 5 2/3 innings. Singles by Canzone and Arozarena to start the sixth
chased deGrom, who gave up seven hits and a run in five-plus innings.
Brandon Nimmo and Nicky Lopez had RBI singles to put Texas in front in the
fourth, and Ezequiel Duran's solo homer in the eighth pulled Texas within one.
Duran had a sacrifice fly in the first.
