Weston Wilson and Randy Arozarena each went deep in Seattle\u2019s four-run fourth inning Sunday afternoon, and the Mariners salvaged one win on their six-game Florida road trip by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 in St. Petersburg, Fla.<\/p>\n
Having entered Sunday with 12 runs on the road swing, the Mariners tallied three times in the second before adding four more on the home runs to end their season-high-tying five-game losing streak.<\/p>\n
J.P. Crawford went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBIs, a run and a walk. Josh Naylor reached base three times on a single, a walk and a hit-by-pitch.<\/p>\n
Starter Emerson Hancock left in the second inning after taking a comebacker off his pitching hand in the first. He did not allow a hit over 1 2\/3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and a walk. X-rays were negative, with that hope being that he\u2019ll be able to recover over the break.<\/p>\n
Jose A. Ferrer (2-1) tossed 1 1\/3 innings of one-hit ball while fanning two, including a key strikeout of All-Star slugger Junior Caminero.<\/p>\n
The American League East-leading Rays retired former third baseman Evan Longoria\u2019s No. 3 in a pregame ceremony. They only managed four hits as they finished off a 4-3 homestand.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Aranda homered to reach 64 RBIs, while Yandy Diaz was 2-for-4 with a run.<\/p>\n
Ian Seymour (6-2) surrendered six runs (five earned) on six hits in 3 1\/3 frames with three punchouts and three walks.<\/p>\n
Owning an 0-5 record and 2-for-38 hitting mark with runners in scoring position in Florida, the Mariners crafted their best offensive frame of the series to that point by sending three runs across early.<\/p>\n
Victor Robles\u2019 sacrifice fly plated Naylor, and Crawford looped a two-run double down the left field line to score Mitch Garver and Cole Young.<\/p>\n
Hancock, who barehanded a hard comebacker by Diaz in the first, battled a finger issue and signaled to the staff in the bottom of the second. The right-hander then removed himself in place of Ferrer.<\/p>\n
With two outs in the third, Ferrer yielded Diaz\u2019s single and hit Aranda before fanning Caminero, who got caught looking in a full count on a 101-mph sinker on the 10th offering of the at-bat.<\/p>\n
Wilson jumped on a 1-2 sweeper from Seymour in the fourth and sent it out to left for his second homer. Arozarena sliced a Cole Sulser sweeper to right-center for his 11th homer, a three-run blast, to push it to 7-0.<\/p>\n
Aranda slashed an opposite-field two-run shot to left, his 14th, to spoil the shutout chance in the eighth, but Crawford doubled in a run the next frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weston Wilson and Randy Arozarena each went deep in Seattle\u2019s four-run fourth inning Sunday afternoon, and the Mariners…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-338500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
