Tellez and Polanco hit home runs in the victory, and Polanco hit his first home run from the right side of the plate. Seattle trailed 2-0 before scoring two runs in the bottom of the fourth on a Tellez homer and a JP Crawford single. The M's then exploded for four runs in the bottom of the seventh on singles by Arozarena and Canzone. Cole Young then doubled in a run before Polanco's solo homer in the eighth.

On the mound, Seattle got six strong innings from Luis Castillo, with Carlos Vargas, Matt Brash and Eduard Bazardo closing out the final three innings.
