SEATTLE (AP) — The Texas Rangers scored eight times in the 11th inning, including a two-run homer by Prince Fielder, to pull away from the Seattle Mariners for an 11-3 victory Saturday.
Texas opened the inning with seven straight hits, the first six off Rob Rasmussen (1-1). Fielder's homer was the eighth hit of the frame and marked the third time this year the Mariners have given up eight runs in an inning.
The offensive outburst came after the Mariners wasted a chance to win in the 10th. Shawn Tolleson (4-2) intentionally walked Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano to load the bases with two outs. Tolleson then struck out Jesus Montero to end the threat.
Texas has won five of six and snapped a six-game losing streak against the Mariners.
