 Mike Zunino homered while Corey Hart and rookie Chris Taylor
added RBIs for the Mariners, who won for only the second time in
their last seven games. Iwakuma (9-5), who is 9-0 with a 2.17 ERA on
the road since losing in Texas on July 4, 2013, allowed two runs
while striking out six in seven innings.
The Indians' Trevor Bauer (4-6) yielded more than four runs for the
first time in 15 starts this season while losing his second straight
outing after permitting five runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Yan Gomes and Jason Kipnis drove in runs for Cleveland, which lost
for the fifth time in its last six games.
Seattle bolted to a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning as Kyle Seager
opened with a bunt single and Zunino was hit by a pitch before Hart
delivered an RBI double two batters later. After James Jones struck
out, Ackley ripped a two-out run-scoring double off the right-field
wall and Taylor followed with an RBI two-base hit off the wall in
left.
Zunino chased Bauer with his 16th homer - a line drive which barely
cleared the high wall in left - with one out in the fifth. The
Indians got on the board in the bottom half when Nick Swisher led
off with a double and scored on Gomes' single while Kipnis added an
RBI groundout following Chris Dickerson's two-base hit.
