Teoscar Hernandez hit a double and a home run
and scored three times for the Mariners, who snapped a
three-game losing streak.
Seattle starter George Kirby (2-1) allowed two runs on three
hits in six innings. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and
struck out five.
Trevor Gott and Justin Topa each pitched a hitless inning and
Paul Sewald retired the side in order in the ninth for his fifth
save of the season.
Cardinals lefty Steven Matz (0-3) was charged with four runs on
four hits in 5 1/ 3 innings, with two walks and seven
strikeouts.
The Mariners broke a 2-all tie in the sixth. Julio Rodriguez led
off with a walk and, an out later, stole second. Eugenio Suarez
also drew a walk, ending Matz's night.
Reliever Drew VerHagen got Hernandez to chase a third strike,
but the wild pitch went to the backstop, allowing Hernandez to
reach first and load the bases. Pollock lined the next pitch
into the gap in right-center to score two runs. Jarred Kelenic
followed with a sacrifice fly to center to make it 5-2.
The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Nolan
Arenado led off with a single to shallow center and Willson
Contreras was hit by a pitch. An out later, the runners advanced
on Lars Nootbaar's groundout to first. Rookie Jordan Walker then
lined a double just over leaping right fielder Hernandez,
scoring both runners.
The Mariners got a run back in the bottom of the inning as
Hernandez led off with a double down the left-field line and
scored on Kelenic's one-out single to center.
Hernandez tied it with a solo shot to straightaway center with
one out in the fourth.
