Crawford lined a tiebreaking three-run double, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep. “It definitely felt great. Sometimes you got to go through tough stretches to wake up," Rodríguez said. Seattle’s slumping offense broke out in a big way and it was the Mariners' best player leading the charge. Mired in a slump at the plate, Rodríguez hit an 0-2 pitch from Baltimore ace Corbin Burnes an estimated 428 feet to center field in the fifth inning for his eighth homer to pull Seattle to 2-1. Two innings later, Rodríguez keyed Seattle’s five-run seventh inning with a line drive double off Baltimore reliever Bryan Baker. The Mariners eventually loaded the bases against Baker (1-1) and with two outs and Crawford cleared them after Keegan Akin fell behind in the count. Crawford is hitting .636 with 37 RBI with the bases loaded over the past two seasons. “In my opinion, what J.P. does is he puts the pressure on the guy on the mound, he doesn't put that on himself. And you can see that," Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “He has a great idea of the strike zone so he's not going to chase in those situations too often and when he lets the game come to him that's when it really works for him.” Mitch Garver capped Seattle’s offensive burst with a two-run homer, his 11th of the season. “Really poorly pitched seventh there,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. Rodríguez’s slump coincided with Seattle’s slide that has seen the Mariners' 10-game lead in the AL west dwindle to just two. In the previous 14 games, Rodríguez had zero RBI and zero extra-base hits. Rodríguez appeared to jam his right thumb making a catch in center field in the sixth inning while fighting the sun but remained in the game. “After I moved it around a little bit, it went away,” Rodríguez said. Seattle starter Bryce Miller managed to keep Baltimore’s offense in check, apart from All-Star Gunnar Henderson. Henderson doubled to open the game – although he was thrown out trying to advance to third – and hit a two-run shot for his 27th homer of the season. Miller worked into the sixth, allowing only two runs and struck out six. Mariners relievers Austin Voth, Ryne Stanek (6-2), Trent Thornton and Andrés Muñoz made only one mistake when Jordan Westburg hit his 14th home run in the eighth. Burnes made his first start since returning from the paternity list following additions to his family after his wife gave birth to twin girls. Burnes gave up Crawford’s single to begin the bottom of the first, then retired 12 straight before Rodríguez’s home run. Burnes finished his outing with a dominant sixth inning, and allowed four hits and struck out six. “Threw a few more pitches than wanted to but for the most part was pretty pleased with it,” Burnes said. “Didn't spin the ball as well as I wanted to but that could be attributed to the layoff.” ROSTER MOVE Seattle claimed OF Duke Ellis off waivers from the New York Mets and assigned him to Triple-A Tacoma. Ellis has 34 stolen bases in 43 minor league games this season. TRAINER’S ROOM Mariners: RHP Bryan Woo (hamstring) is expected to make a rehab start at Single-A Everett sometime this weekend. He could be joined by RHP Gregory Santos as he moves closer to rejoining the Mariners. UP NEXT Orioles: RHP Albert Suarez (4-2, 2.43) will take the mound to open a three-game series in Oakland against the A’s. Mariners: RHP Luis Castillo (6-9, 3.87) will start the opener of a three-game series against Toronto on Friday. ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb Screen Shot 2019 06 01 At 1.57.35 AM 700x703 Fd79eedc6f827cd9486c62243267d3ca Maxresdefault 971cab1839fcffde151d159aa7ff37c3 CraftyGeminiHeaderWeb 768x635 AAuE7mAk8cg13NaQOeeuHPHpkE3ZiR9QG LYoITdoA=s900 Mo C C0xffffffff Rj K No Screen Shot 2019 01 11 At 12.48.24 AM Screen Shot 2019 02 08 At 10.07.28 PM Maxresdefault De7df3ab706a337462659abcdca02a0a 68461f066a87cc8e40447103b016bc97 Hqdefault 111cba274512b337456bd9cc0768a026 Screen Shot 2015 07 24 At 11.22.26 AM Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Maxresdefault 30b7c54284b5f59d569b48771e1829b4 Maxresdefault 2b466cde91822056b6df0f9caf10c4e6 Backback Straps YT Thumb 1 Be3af8ad465a05c73154cddd20fbc037a8ad0502 49e0ac2c0425698299afdaa359f0e999 Screen Shot 2017 12 12 At 1.18.36 AM 700x622 Screen Shot 2018 05 20 At 7.59.28 PM 920x611 Hqdefault ?sqp= OaymwEiCMQBEG5IWvKriqkDFQgBFQAAAAAYASUAAMhCPQCAokN4AQ==&rs=AOn4CLDIPf Cnm0enmTuxJWKMwOlnXeKkg Hqdefault ?custom=true&w=196&h=110&stc=true&jpg444=true&jpgq=90&sp=68&sigh=MWDYqQX5X5xr4UywEVFVZg Kngo Hqdefault ?sqp= OaymwEiCMQBEG5IWvKriqkDFQgBFQAAAAAYASUAAMhCPQCAokN4AQ==&rs=AOn4CLDfMmAgZmTUBl5Nfiv LzgBFWUgYw Screen Shot 2018 10 23 At 1.07.19 AM Hqdefault ?sqp= OaymwEiCMQBEG5IWvKriqkDFQgBFQAAAAAYASUAAMhCPQCAokN4AQ==&rs=AOn4CLDBtMrKGOzrryMoNzm4Z1U0l3PF W Maxresdefault Screen Shot 2021 01 12 At 1.41.09 PM 221a11621dc5afdd1327026cea3e5a0e ?media Id=262368039703294&get Thumbnail=1 Hqdefault ?sqp= OaymwEiCMQBEG5IWvKriqkDFQgBFQAAAAAYASUAAMhCPQCAokN4AQ==&rs=AOn4CLBofcN0nTjBUe6LlITJVvg3mqvC6g
