The extra swings must have helped.
Jose Lopez drove in four runs with three hits, including a three-run double in the eighth, and the Mariners enjoyed one of their best offensive games of the year in beating the Atlanta Braves 10-2 on Friday night.
The Mariners matched their season high with 15 hits, including a season-high eight doubles. They scored five runs in the eighth, also matching their high mark for an inning this season.
Adrian Beltre was 2-for-4 with three RBIs.
Riggleman was promoted from bench coach when John McLaren was fired Thursday morning. Riggleman managed his first game since Oct. 3, 1999, the end of his five-year run with the Chicago Cubs.
Ryan Rowland-Smith (1-1) gave up no hits and one walk in 1 2-3 scoreless innings as the second reliever behind starter Erik Bedard.
Bedard left with back spasms in his right side after three scoreless innings, giving up only two hits. The Mariners were without fill-in closer Brandon Morrow, who remained in Seattle while also suffering from back spasms.
Jorge Campillo (2-2) gave up four runs on eight hits, including five doubles, in 6 1-3 innings. Will Ohman gave up five runs while recording only two outs.
Roy Corcoran, who relieved Bedard, walked Chipper Jones and Mark Teixeira in the fourth. Jones scored on Omar Infante's single to center. Corcoran gave up another hit to Brian McCann, loading the bases, but Jeff Francoeur hit into a double play to end the inning.
