straight. Mitch Keller (5-12) gave up two runs and four hits in

the comeback victory. Marcus Semien walked to open the eighth
inning, and Seager followed with his drive to left-center.
Jose Leclerc picked up his seventh save, stranding Shohei Ohtani,
who had a pinch-hit double, by striking out Mike Trout to end
it. Trout had a two-run double earlier in the game as the Angels

with a home run, a double and two RBIs as visiting Seattle
overcame Julio Rodriguez's recurring back issues to overpower
Oakland.
Adam Frazier chipped in with a go-ahead, two-run double in a
three-run sixth for the Mariners, who remain a half-game behind
the Tampa Bay Rays for the second American League wild-card
position.
Oakland scored all five of its runs off Seattle starter George
Kirby and reliever Matt Brash in the third. Stephen Vogt had a
bases-loaded triple, Shea Langeliers an RBI double and Tony Kemp
an RBI single in the uprising that produced a 5-3 lead.
