Seattle Mariners Takes 5th-Straight Game With 13-1 Win Against Texas Rangers

Raleigh's grand slam accounted for the first four of a seven-run inning for the Mariners in the fifth. After Raleigh's grand slam, Rowdy Tellez hit an RBI single and Ben Williamson hit an RBI double. Rhylan Thomas, in his major league debut, had his first RBI on a sacrifice fly that scored Miles Mastrobuoni. Seattle had 11 plate appearances in the inning and led 8-0 through five.

The Mariners offense bolstered a dominant outing from starting pitcher Bryan Woo. He pitched 6.1 innings and struck out eight. He allowed just one hit and no free bases.

"It's a ton of fun," Woo said after the game. "I think everyone's just doing a really good job of staying consistent, putting together good at-bats. ... I think everybody's coming together really well. Obviously, a group that has been together for a couple years, our core group. And then, integrating in the new guys real well. Everybody's been great just coming in and working hard, doing their jobs and keeping the main thing the main thing."

Julio Rodriguez accounted for Seattle's third home run of the game with a two-run shot to center field in the top of the sixth that gave the Mariners a 10-0 lead.

In the top of the ninth, Tellez scored on a grounder hit by Thomas and J.P. Crawford hit a two-RBI double to make it 13-0.

Josh Smith hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth for the eventual final of 13-1.

"Obviously winning is fun, and that's what we're here to do," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said after the game. "These guys, like I've mentioned before, do a really good job, whether it's good or bad, they come tomorrow, they're ready to play again. That's the thing that they do so well and that's what we got to do."

Seattle will have a chance to make win their eighth consecutive series at 4:05 p.m. PT on Saturday. Luis Castillo will start for the Mariners and Patrick Corbin will start for Seattle.
