OAKLAND -- Leonys Martin smacked a two-out, go-ahead home run off A's reliever Josh Smith in the 10th inning at the Coliseum on Tuesday night, sending the Mariners to a 7-6 victory that pulled them into a three-way tie with Kansas City and Tampa Bay for the second American League Wild Card spot.

Martin's homer, his second of the year, capped a gritty comeback effort by the Mariners, who trailed, 5-1, after three innings. Seattle went on to score in five of its final seven frames, with help from a spotty Oakland defense.

Khris Davis launched a three-run homer in the first inning -- his 30th of the season -- and notched an RBI triple in the third to finish with four RBIs.
