The Seattle Mariners drubbed the Miami Marlins 14-0 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park.
With the win, the Mariners are now 15-12 on the season and they own a share of first place with the Texas Rangers.
Seattle got big nights from everywhere in the lineup, with Jorge Polanco going 2-for-4 with two homers, three runs scored and two RBIs. Mitch Garver and Julio Rodriguez each homered, while Ben Williamson had four RBIs and Miles Mastrobuoni added three.
Starting pitcher Luis Castillo threw six scoreless innings to get back on track. He struck out five, lowering his ERA to 3.62 for the season.
The M's also got some good news after the game on first baseman Rowdy Tellez, who left the game early after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports that X-rays on his left hand were negative. It's unknown if he'll be in the lineup for the series finale on Sunday.

Signed to a minor league deal in spring training, Tellez made the team on the heels of a strong camp. Though he's hitting only .170 this season, he does have four homers and 12 RBIs. He homered in each game of last weekend's series win against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Lifetime, he's a .233 hitter with 109 homers and 331 RBIs.
The Mariners will go for a series win on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Marlins again at 1:10 p.m. PT.
M's rookie Logan Evans will make his major league debut against Max Meyer.
