Julio Rodriguez hit a milestone home run as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Texas Rangers 5-4 Sunday afternoon. Jorge Polanco and J.P. Crawford also went deep for the Mariners, who took three of four games in the series between the American League West rivals and improved to 10-3 against Texas this season.

In the sixth, with it still a game at 3-0, the Rangers threatened a two-out rally with a single by Seager and a double to the wall by Marcus Semien. Seager, a below-average runner, was held up at third. And stranded there when Adolis García struck out.

Seattle began its eventual failed rally in the bottom of the sixth. Trailing 2-0, shortstop J.P. Crawford scored on a balk attributed to Rangers starting pitcher Merrill Kelly. Center fielder Julio Rodriguez hit an RBI double to knot the contest up 2-2.
