Gomez, Field hit back-to-back homers vs. M's

Gomez's solo homer SEATTLE -- Mariners starter Mike Leake retired 12 Rays batters in a row before right fielder Carlos Gomez and left fielder Johnny Field broke the shutout with back-to-back solo home runs in the top of the fifth, cutting Tampa Bay's deficit to 3-2. Gomez blasted the first pitch he saw from Leake 378 feet into the bullpen in left field. Field fell behind 1-2 before sending his sixth homer of the season to nearly the same spot.

Gomez, who returned to the lineup after missing Thursday's 7-3 loss to Oakland with a sore hamstring, entered the game just 1-for-15 since returning from the 10-day DL on May 25.
