SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Luke Raley and Julio Rodr\u00edguez homered for the second straight game \u2014 two of four solo shots by Seattle in the first three innings \u2014 and the Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Saturday night behind seven shutout innings from Bryan Woo.<\/p>\n
Woo (5-3) allowed only two fifth-inning singles while matching his season high with nine strikeouts in a fifth straight victory for the Mariners \u2014 their longest winning streak of the season.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old right-hander did not allow a baserunner until Adrian Del Castillo singled with one out in the fifth, striking out five in a row at one point.<\/p>\n
Cooper Criswell allowed a hit in the eighth, and Alex Hoppe issued the game’s only walk with two outs in the ninth and then failed to cover home on a wild pitch allowing Geraldo Perdomo to score from second and spoil the shutout.<\/p>\n
\n Raley homered<\/a> for the 13th time as Seattle grabbed the lead against Ryne Nelson (2-4) in the second. Dominic Canzone hit his sixth<\/a> homer one out later for a 2-0 advantage.<\/p>\n Rookie Colt Emerson led off<\/a> the third with his second homer, and Rodr\u00edguez followed<\/a> one out later with his 12th for a 4-0 lead. Rodr\u00edguez has 10 homers in May, two more than he\u2019s ever hit in a single month.<\/p>\n Randy Arozarena reached on a two-base throwing error by Jose Fernandez to begin the sixth before scoring on Cole Young’s sacrifice fly to make it 5-0, leading to Nelson’s exit after 99 pitches.<\/p>\n The right-hander, who had never surrendered more than two home runs in any of his previous 89 starts, allowed five runs \u2014 four earned \u2014 on seven hits in 5 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n The AL West-leading Mariners (30-29) move above .500 for the first time since they were 3-2.<\/p>\n Seattle hit four home runs in a 7-6 10-inning victory in the opener. The last time the Marisners hit as many as eight homers in the first two games of a series was in 1999 when they had 10 against the Twins.<\/p>\n Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (5-3, 5.25) was set to start Sunday opposite RHP Bryce Miller (1-0, 2.25) as the Mariners go for the sweep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Luke Raley and Julio Rodr\u00edguez homered for the second straight game \u2014 two of four…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2392],"tags":[25638,60784,5,762,1996,10947,89364,21670,1533,62568,3992,1505,620,660,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,83120,83366,1456,5938,619,65,3235],"class_list":["post-713348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-seattle-mariners","tag-adrian-del-castillo","tag-alex-hoppe","tag-baseball","tag-bryan-woo","tag-bryce-miller","tag-cooper-criswell","tag-diamondbacks-mariners-score","tag-dominic-canzone","tag-geraldo-perdomo","tag-jose-fernandez","tag-julio-rodriguez","tag-luke-raley","tag-mariners","tag-merrill-kelly","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40774-ap-arizona-sports-only","tag-product-40820-ap-washington-state-sports-only","tag-randy-arozarena","tag-ryne-nelson","tag-seattle","tag-seattle-mariners","tag-seattlemariners"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
