Coupled with a Rangers win over the Pirates, the loss dropped Seattle out of the American League West lead for the first time in two weeks at 28-21, including a 10-14 mark at Safeco. The Mariners managed just three hits -- including a solo homer by Robinson Cano -- off Nolasco as he picked up his second win of the season.
Franklin Gutierrez's two-run homer in the ninth off closer Kevin Jepsen closed the final margin to one run. Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker continued his May struggles, allowing six hits -- including the three homers -- and five runs in 4 1/3 innings.
