Arozarena's walk-off double, Crawford's 2 HRs help Mariners beat D'backs 7-6 in 10 innings
SEATTLE (AP) — Randy Arozarena hit a walk-off double, J.P. Crawford homered twice — the first multi-home run game of his career —and the Seattle Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 in 10 innings on Friday night for their fourth straight win.
After Seattle reliever Cooper Criswell (2-1) threw a scoreless 10th inning, Arozarena went to the opposite field on a slider by Diamondbacks righty Juan Morillo with two runners aboard.
The Mariners (29-29) are .500 for the first time since April 29, when they were 16-16 after a 5-3 win against the Minnesota Twins.
Crawford hit 74 home runs in 978 major league appearances prior to Friday, but never twice in one game before depositing a pair of offerings from Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen into the seats at T-Mobile Park.
The veteran shortstop led off the first inning with a solo shot off the Arizona right-hander, then added a two-run homer in the fifth inning for his ninth of the season, the latter of which gave Seattle a 5-1 lead.
The Diamondbacks responded with four runs in the top of the sixth, three of them charged to Mariners starter George Kirby (6-4), to tie the game. Arizona evened the score on an RBI single by Jose Fernandez.
Seattle responded in the bottom of the sixth, as Luke Raley hit his team-leading 12th home run of the season, but Arizona forced extra innings with an RBI fielder’s choice by Ildemaro Vargas in the ninth inning. That set the stage for Arozarena’s heroics.
