Seattle saw its seven-game road win streak end and fell to 81-73, two games back of Detroit and Baltimore for the second American League Wild Card spot with eight games remaining.
The Mariners had runners on first and second with no outs in the top of the ninth after a single by Robinson Cano and an error on Twins third baseman Miguel Sano. But Sano made a leaping stop of a high chopper by Kyle Seager and turned that into a double play before Brandon Kintzler got Adam Lind to pop out for the final out in a game that lasted just two hours, six minutes.
