SEATTLE (AP) — José Caballero was hit by a pitch from Jason Adam to force in the tiebreaking run, and the Seattle Mariners erased an early five-run deficit in a 7-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Eugenio Suárez and Tom Murphy homered for the Mariners, who took two of three games from the top team in the American League. All-Star pitcher Luis Castillo recovered from a rough start to last six innings. Seattle’s bullpen held the Mariners without a hit over the final three innings. Paul Sewald struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 16th save. Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes homered early off Castillo. Arozarena lined into a double play that ended the seventh, with teammate Wander Franco getting doubled off first base.
