Dominic Canzone was at the center of it. He finished 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and 4 RBIs, and his biggest moment came in the seventh when he sent a 400-foot homer to right field. Randy Arozarena added a solo shot of his own later in the same inning, going 3-for-5 with a home run and an RBI on the night.
Trailing 1-3 in the seventh, Seattle turned the game around when Canzone homered to right, scoring Emerson and Young to make it 4-3 and put the Mariners in front for good. Arozarena followed with a solo homer to right center to push the margin to 5-3. Texas answered in the bottom of the eighth when Duran homered to left, but Seattle tacked on an insurance run in the ninth as Canzone doubled to right and Rodríguez scored, closing out the 6-4 final. Earlier, Texas had built its lead on a sacrifice fly by Duran that scored Pederson in the first, and RBI singles from Carter and Lopez in the fourth that plated Nimmo and Burger.
