WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone each hit a two-run homer in a six-run third inning that sent the Seattle Mariners to a 9-2 victory over the Athletics on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Randy Arozarena had an RBI double in the third and a two-run homer in the ninth. J.P. Crawford also went deep for the Mariners, who moved within 1 1\/2 games of the first-place A’s in the AL West.<\/p>\n
Seattle starter Luis Castillo pitched four scoreless innings before Bryce Miller (1-0) worked the final five.<\/p>\n
Athletics slugger Nick Kurtz walked in the third to extend his on-base streak to 48 games, equaling the single-season club record Mark McGwire set in 1995. McGwire stretched the mark to 62 when he reached base safely in the first 14 games the following season. <\/p>\n
Kurtz, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, tied Albert Pujols (2001) for the fifth-longest streak by a major league player 23 or younger.<\/p>\n
Crawford hit his seventh homer leading off the fourth and Arozarena added his sixth in the ninth \u2014 a 437-foot shot to center field.<\/p>\n
Mariners manager Dan Wilson went in with a plan to piggyback Castillo and Miller, and it worked out well. <\/p>\n
Castillo left with a 7-0 lead after allowing two hits and striking out six. Miller went the rest of the way and gave up Shea Langeliers\u2019 13th homer \u2014 a solo shot in the eighth. <\/p>\n
Josh Naylor drove in a run on a forceout before scoring from first on a double by Arozarena for the first two runs off Aaron Civale (5-2).<\/p>\n
Raley hit the next pitch for his 11th home run, and Cole Young doubled before Canzone homered for the fifth time to make it 6-0. Arozarena had three of Seattle\u2019s 12 hits.<\/p>\n
Civale gave up seven runs and nine hits in four innings. The right-hander has yielded nine homers in his last six starts. <\/p>\n
Jack Perkins allowed two runs and three hits in 4 2\/3 innings, striking out seven.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
Mariners RHP Emerson Hancock (3-2, 3.07 ERA) starts Tuesday opposite Athletics RHP Luis Severino (2-5, 4.23).<\/p>\n
