Dae-Ho Lee hit two huge homers to lead the Mariners to an impossible 9-8 comeback win over the A’s on Wednesday, giving the Mariners a three-game sweep in Oakland.

A seat on the bench for Thursday’s game in Houston. With right-hander Chris Devenski getting the start for the Astros, manager Scott Servais returned to his platoon lineup that featured Adam Lind at first base.
“We’ll get back to playing the numbers a little bit,” Servais said. “Yesterday was a great day for him. We had a hunch and we rode the hunch and it worked out great.
