ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Felix Hernandez surrendered a grand slam in his shortest outing of the season when the fading Seattle Mariners needed their ace to end a losing streak.
It was the fifth straight loss for the Mariners, who finished 1-6 on the road trip and have lost nine of their past 11 games to fall to 68-65. Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Guys are down a little bit and rightfully so. Odor hit a two-run home run that scored Beltre.
Diaz, making his first appearance in four days, gave up a leadoff single to Adrian Beltre in the ninth before Rougned Odor made up for two earlier baserunning blunders with a game-ending homer to give the AL-best Texas Rangers an 8-7 win Tuesday night. “Look, I’ve said it before, they never believe they’re out of any single game”.
Sometimes baseball games feel like they are more than just one out of 162. Detwiler allowed just one run on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over seven innings. With Beltre on first and the Rangers trailing 6-5, Odor roped a single into right field, he tried to stretch the single into a double, despite Mariners right fielder Shawn O’Malley playing the ball well and was thrown out by 10 feet. Meanwhile, the Astros and Royals, who both won Monday night, moved to 69-62 – a game up on Seattle. He has seven homers this season.
Seattle reliever Arquimedes Caminero was ejected after hitting Texas’ Elvis Andrus with a pitch in the seventh. Caminero hit Andrus in the ribs with a high 98 miles per hour fastball two batters after allowing Odor’s two-run homer.
