ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — After consecutive six-run losses against Texas, the Seattle Mariners got to the Rangers’ ace Sunday and earned a long-awaited victory in Arlington.
Kyle Seager drove in three runs with three doubles, Christian Bergman pitched effectively into the sixth inning and the Mariners beat Yu Darvish and the Rangers 7-3.
Danny Valencia’s two-run homer capped a four-run first against Darvish (6-5), and the Mariners beat the right-hander for the first time in eight tries on the road. Seager had RBI doubles in the first, third and eighth innings for Seattle, which won at Texas for the first time in its last nine tries.
