ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Julio Rodrguez, Will Wilson and Cole Young each homered,
and Leo Rivas hit a two-run single in the ninth to help the Seattle Mariners
beat the St. Louis Cardinals 11-9 on Saturday.
Rivas lined the bases-loaded hit off Riley O'Brien (3-1), who had not allowed
an earned run in 13 previous appearances this season.
Matt Brash (2-0) pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Andrs Muoz pitched a
scoreless ninth to earn his fifth save.
Nathan Church homered twice and had four RBIs, JJ Wetherholt and Ivn Herrera
hit back-to-back home runs to leadoff the bottom of the first inning, and Pedro
Pags also homered for St. Louis.
Mitch Garver and Young hit back-to-back singles off JoJo Romero to leadoff the
eighth inning, and Connor Joe stroked a pinch-hit, two-run single off O'Brien
to tie the game at 9-all.
Church hit a two-run homer, his fourth of the season, to right-center field in
the seventh inning to pull the Cardinals ahead 9-7 after hitting a solo shot to
right field in the second.
Bryan Woo allowed a career high-tying seven runs on nine hits including four
home runs in three innings for Seattle.
Matthew Liberatore allowed five runs, all coming via home runs, in 3 1/3
innings for St. Louis.
Pags, who had three hits including a third inning home run, was removed from
the game with left hamstring tightness after legging out an infield single in
the seventh inning.
Masyn Winn hit a game-tying RBI single down the right-field line in the fourth
inning to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
Wilson hit his first career home run in the second inning to give Seattle a 4-2
lead.
