SEATTLE (AP) --- Randy Arozarena hit a walk-off double, J.P. Crawford homered
twice --- the first multi-home run game of his career ---and the Seattle
Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 in 10 innings on Friday night for
their fourth straight win.
After Seattle reliever Cooper Criswell (2-1) threw a scoreless 10th inning,
Arozarena went to the opposite field on a slider by Diamondbacks righty Juan
Morillo with two runners aboard.
The Mariners (29-29) are .500 for the first time since April 29, when they were
16-16 after a 5-3 win against the Minnesota Twins.
Crawford hit 74 home runs in 978 major league appearances prior to Friday, but
never twice in one game before depositing a pair of offerings from Diamondbacks
starter Zac Gallen into the seats at T-Mobile Park.
The veteran shortstop led off the first inning with a solo shot off the Arizona
right-hander, then added a two-run homer in the fifth inning for his ninth of
the season, the latter of which gave Seattle a 5-1 lead.
The Diamondbacks responded with four runs in the top of the sixth, three of
them charged to Mariners starter George Kirby (6-4), to tie the game. Arizona
evened the score on an RBI single by Jose Fernandez.
Seattle responded in the bottom of the sixth, as Luke Raley hit his
team-leading 12th home run of the season, but Arizona forced extra innings with
an RBI fielder's choice by Ildemaro Vargas in the ninth inning. That set the
stage for Arozarena's heroics.
