ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 The Mariners have lost three consecutive games and five of their last six after Jacob deGrom and five Texas relievers combined for a two-hitter to help the Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Jake Burger hit a tie-breaking RBI double over the outstretched glove of left fielder Randy Arozarena in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n
The Rangers snapped a four-game losing streak and won for the first time in four home games.<\/p>\n
Burger\u2019s fly to deep left scored Corey Seager, who singled and advanced to second base on a wild pitch by Logan Gilbert (0-2).<\/p>\n
Jalen Beeks (1-0) pitched a scoreless sixth inning as the first Rangers reliever following deGrom. Jakob Junis earned his first save of the season with a scoreless ninth.<\/p>\n
Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who led the major leagues last season with 60 home runs, hit his first of the season in the first inning, capping a 12-pitch at-bat during which he fouled off six pitches with two strikes. His longest drought last season was eight games.<\/p>\n
Seager tied the score in the bottom of the first with a single to right field that scored Wyatt Langford, who doubled into the left-field corner.<\/p>\n
Raleigh\u2019s homer was the only hit allowed by deGrom over five innings in his 250th career start, ranking 18th among active pitchers. The 37-year-old struck out six and walked one, throwing 78 pitches. He has two no-decisions this season.<\/p>\n
Burger, batting .317, has hits in nine of 10 games this season.<\/p>\n
Gilbert gave up two runs on six hits with no walks while striking out five in six innings.<\/p>\n
