Stewart\u00a0hit his team-leading 21st home run of the season\u00a0on a first-pitch sinker from Mariners reliever Eduard Bazardo (3-3) with two outs to make it 5-3. Bazardo walked Edwin Arroyo and gave up a single to Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes before Stewart\u2019s homer.<\/p>\n
Emilio Pag\u00e1n pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his ninth save and second in as many days.<\/p>\n
JJ Bleday also went deep for Cincinnati, hitting a solo shot off Mariners starter Emerson Hancock in the fourth inning to tie it at 2. Hancock, who threw six innings of two-run ball, gave up one more run in the inning on an RBI single by Dane Myers.<\/p>\n
Seattle twice took leads against Reds starter Brady Singer (5-9), who allowed three runs in 6\u2154 innings. The Mariners went up 1-0 in the second\u00a0on an RBI single by Cal Raleigh\u00a0and then 3-2 in the fourth\u00a0on a two-run single by Luke Raley.<\/p>\n
Raleigh, last year\u2019s\u00a0AL MVP runner-up, drove in six runs during the series,\u00a0including a grand slam on Monday.<\/p>\n
Seattle infielder J.P. Crawford missed his third straight game with a sore wrist. Outfielder Julio Rodriguez, who came off the bench Tuesday night due to injury, was Seattle\u2019s designated hitter and batted second.<\/p>\n
