 The only hit Walker allowed was a solo home run by Twins third
baseman Miguel Sano with one out in the fourth inning.
He retired nine in a row after that and 16 of the final 17 men he
faced in all.
Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz finished with four hits and
was a triple shy of the cycle.
Right fielder Mark Trumbo, center fielder Austin Jackson and first
baseman Jesus Montero also had multi-hit games for Seattle, who
snapped a four-game losing streak.
Minnesota left-hander Tommy Milone (5-3) took the loss, allowing
four runs on 11 hits in six-plus innings of work.
Seattle got on the board first in the second inning when Trumbo and
Jackson led off with singles.
Two batters later, shortstop Brad Miller hit a sacrifice fly to deep
center, scoring Trumbo for a 1-0 lead.
The Mariners extended the lead in the fourth, starting the inning
with three straight hits. Trumbo and Jackson each singled ahead of
Montero, who doubled down the left-field line to score Trumbo from
second.
