Randy Arozarena broke a tie with an RBI single in a four-run seventh inning as the Seattle Mariners<\/a> defeated the visiting Cleveland\u00a0Guardians\u00a07-2 on June 13 in the opener of a three-game series.<\/p>\n

Rowdy Tellez and Jorge Polanco each had a double and a home run for the Mariners, who snapped a three-game losing streak and won for just the second time in their past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Nolan Jones and Steven Kwan hit back-to-back homers for the\u00a0Guardians, who have lost six of eight.<\/p>\n

Mariners reliever Carlos Vargas (2-5) got the victory.<\/p>\n

With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Cal Raleigh drew a leadoff walk against Tim Herrin (4-2) and Polanco doubled to left field. The\u00a0Guardians\u00a0brought in Hunter Gaddis to face Arozarena, but he lined a single past diving third baseman Jose Ramirez to put Seattle ahead.<\/p>\n

With one out in the inning, Dominic Canzone grounded a two-run single through a drawn-in infield, Ben Williamson singled off Kolby Allard and rookie Cole Young hit a run-scoring double to left to make it 6-2.<\/p>\n

Polanco homered to left with one out in the eighth to cap the scoring.<\/p>\n

\"Cleveland<\/p>\n

Cleveland Guardians’ Nolan Jones hits a solo home run against the Seattle Mariners on June 13, 2025, in Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Guardians\u00a0broke a scoreless tie in the third. With one out, Jones just cleared the fence in right-center field and Kwan then hit a ball to nearly the same spot that bounced off the top of the wall and over.<\/p>\n

The Mariners tied the score in the fourth. Tellez led off with a blast off the facade of the second deck in right field. With one out, Williamson grounded a double into the left field corner, advanced to third on Young’s flyout to the warning track in center and scored on J.P. Crawford’s line-drive single to left.<\/p>\n

Neither starter factored into the decision.<\/p>\n

\"Cleveland<\/p>\n

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Cade Smith (36) is checked on after being hit by a ball against the Seattle Mariners on June 13, 2025, in Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n

The Mariners’ Luis Castillo made his seventh quality start in his last nine outings, going six innings and allowing two runs on three hits. The right-hander walked three and struck out a season-high seven.<\/p>\n

Guardians\u00a0right-hander Gavin Williams lasted just four innings as he struggled with his command. He gave up two runs on six hits, with three walks and one strikeout.<\/p>\n

There was a scary moment in the fifth when Tellez hit a 106.6-mph liner off the bill of the cap of\u00a0Guardians\u00a0reliever Cade Smith, with the ball ricocheting into shallow right-center field as Tellez lumbered into second with a double. There appeared to be a slight welt on Smith’s forehead as a trainer came out to attend to him, but the right-hander completed the inning.<\/p>\n
