Seager, Mariners hammer Rangers
ARLINGTON — Kyle Seager hit a grand slam, Kyle Lewis and Dylan Moore also homered, and the Seattle Mariners won 10-2 on Monday night in their first game at the new Texas ballpark, snapping the Rangers’ three-game winning streak.
Lewis put the Mariners up 4-2 with his fourth homer, a three-run shot to center field in the fifth off Kyle Gibson (0-2). Seager cleared the bases an inning later with a high-arching drive that dropped near the first row of seats a few feet beyond the right-field wall for his fifth career slam.
Justin Dunn (1-1) limited Texas to two runs over six innings for his first big league victory. He had gone only seven innings combined his first two starts this season after pitching in four games at the end of last season in his MLB debut.
