Seattle Mariners Take Series From Texas Rangers, Reclaim AL West Lead

Andrew Heaney allowed two, two-run home runs as the Seattle Mariners edged the Texas Rangers 4-3 Thursday afternoon after Globe Life Field.

ARLINGTON — The Texas Rangers offense is scuffling, and it's starting to become a problem.

Seattle Mariners pitchers stymied Rangers bats to take two of three games in the series with a 4-3 win Thursday afternoon at Globe Life Field.

Andrew Heaney retired 10 consecutive batters after Ty France's two-run homer in the first inning. Dylan Moore's double to lead off the fifth snapped the streak and Luis Urias's two-run homer an out later gave the Mariners a 4-2 lead.

Heaney allowed four runs on five hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked none. Cole Winn pitched two perfect innings of relief.

The Mariners reclaimed a half-game lead atop the American League West with the win.

The Rangers dropped to 6-7 at Globe Life Field and are 3-6 in day games after Thursday's loss.
