Seattle's victory came at a cost. Starting
pitcher Luis Castillo exited the game with a left hamstring
strain in the fourth inning.
Castillo allowed two runs on five hits while retiring nine
batters before his departure. Reliever Trent Thornton (4-3)
tagged in and pitched two scoreless innings to earn the victory.
Jose Fermin and Jordan Walker drove in two runs apiece for the
Cardinals (72-71), who dropped two of three games to the
Mariners to suffer their first series loss since Aug. 16-18
against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Mariners pounded Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas
(8-11) for seven runs (six earned) on nine hits in two innings.
Mikolas struck out three and walked none.
After getting shut out Saturday, Seattle rebounded to score five
runs in the first inning.
Rodriguez led off the game with a double and scored on Cal
Raleigh's single. After Arozarena hit a single, Raley delivered
a two-run double.
Turner hit a single, and two outs and one passed ball later,
Garver's two-run single made it 5-0.
The Mariners increased their lead to 7-0 in the second inning on
a single by Rodriguez and Arozarena's 19th homer of the year.
The Cardinals got two runs back in the second inning. Nolan
Arenado hit a leadoff single, Ivan Herrera hit a one-out double
and Fermin drove them home with a two-out single.
But Seattle made it 9-2 in the fifth inning when Turner walked
and Polanco hit his 14th home run.
St. Louis cut its deficit to 9-4 in the eighth inning when Matt
Carpenter hit a double, Lars Nootbaar walked and Walker hit a
two-run double.
Seattle added a run in the ninth inning on doubles by Raley and
J.P. Crawford.
