Raleigh hit a two-run shot to left in the ninth inning off reliever Joey Wentz.<\/p>\n
Julio Rodr\u00edguez and Luke Raley homered as part of a six-run third inning for Seattle. Dominic Canzone, who homered twice on Sunday, went deep again for the Mariners, while Bryan Woo (7-4) gave up two runs and struck out nine to win his second straight start.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Brooks Lee, Trevor Larnach and Carlos Correa each had two hits. Larnach and Correa hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning for Minnesota, which has lost 14 of its last 17.<\/p>\n
Twins starter Bailey Ober (4-5) had just one bad inning, but it was rocky enough to be the difference in the game. He gave up six runs in the third, with a two-run homer by Rodr\u00edguez and Raley\u2019s three-run shot doing most of the damage.<\/p>\n
Ober allowed only two other baserunners and struck out seven in his seven-inning stint.<\/p>\n
Rodr\u00edguez added a two-run double in the ninth inning before Raleigh\u2019s home run.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
Ober was one out away from getting out of the third inning with just three runs allowed. But he left a fastball over the middle to Raley, who drove it an estimated 436 feet to right-center for a three-run homer that gave Seattle a 6-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Key stat<\/p>\n
Since losing starters Pablo L\u00f3pez and Zebby Matthews to shoulder injuries in early June, the Twins have allowed 133 runs in 17 games, an average of 7.8 per game.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
The second game of the series features a matchup of veteran right-handers as Seattle\u2019s Luis Castillo (4-5, 3.38) faces Chris Paddack (3-6, 4.48) for the Twins.<\/p>\n
