Rangers can't hold lead in loss to Mariners

Pinch-hitter Jarrod Dyson led off the ninth with an infield single, stole second and then moved to third when Leonys Martin dropped a bunt that Sam Dyson fielded toward the third-base line, but couldn't make a throw on to put runners on first and third.

After Martin stole second, Dyson walked pinch-hitter Mike Freeman and Mitch Haniger to force in the tying run. Dyson got Robinson Cano on a fielder's choice force play at home before Cruz rolled a single up the middle that shortstop Elvis Andrus gloved, but couldn't make a play as Freeman raced home with the winning run.
