Hernandez outduels Perez as Mariners beat Rangers

Felix Hernandez allowed only one run in 7 1/3 innings, and the Seattle Mariners used a Nelson Cruz homer and a Mitch Haniger overturned homer into a 2-1 victory over the Texas Rangers.

Martin Perez allowed one run in five-plus innings, but struggled throughout. Jose Leclerc was tagged with the loss after Haniger’s three-run homer was reviewed and overturned into an RBI single.

The Rangers escaped the inning down only 2-1, but two Mariners relievers recorded he final five outs in relief of Hernandez to end it.

How Rangers hitters fared: They mustered only six hits against former Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez, and Carlos Gomez had two of them.
