ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Gabe Speier (2-2) retired all four batters he faced in the sixth and seventh, and Andr\u00e9s Mu\u00f1oz struck out the side in the ninth for his 18th save in 23 chances.<\/p>\n
Winn (5-3) entered with a 3-1 lead after consecutive singles by Colt Emerson and Cole Young. Julio Rodr\u00edguez 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
