Healy homers, Neal dazzles in loss to Seattle

SEATTLE -- A Mariners team that has lived off the long ball all season stayed alive for another day by blasting four home runs in a 5-1 victory over the A's on Friday at Safeco Field, putting themselves just a game back of Toronto in the American League Wild Card chase with two games to go.

Robinson Cano hit two homers and Nelson Cruz and Norichika Aoki each added another as Seattle jumped on Oakland rookie right-hander Raul Alcantara for five runs off four blasts in the first three innings.
