Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker breezed through five innings on just two hits with eight strikeouts, but he gave up a grand slam to Rays designated hitter Corey Dickerson in the sixth that tied the game at 4. Walker had walked only three batters in his first 37 innings of the season, but issued three that inning along with three hits and was pulled after 5 2/3 innings.
Free bases also proved costly to Rays right-hander Chris Archer, who walked three batters in a three-run first. Archer wound up going five-plus frames with five hits, four runs, four walks and five strikeouts.
