SEATTLE (AP) --- Cedric Mullins' RBI single in the fifth inning put Tampa Bay
ahead and Ian Seymour pitched six innings of one-run ball as the Rays beat the
Seattle Mariners 4-1 Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep.
Seymour settled in after a bumpy first inning. Taylor Ward opened the game with
a triple and scored on Cole Young's single to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. Dominic
Canzone also had a single in the inning.
Seymour (9-3) allowed just two hits the rest of the way, and finished with two
walks and seven strikeouts. Steven Matz pitched the ninth to earn his first
save of the season.
Rays designated hitter Yandy Diaz tied the game at 1 with an RBI single in the
fourth inning that scored Mullins.
Mullins put the Rays ahead with a single off Mariners starter Emerson Hancock
in the fifth that scored Junior Caminero. Tampa Bay finished with 14 hits.
Hancock (6-7) gave up two runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings.
The Rays added two more runs in the sixth against Mariners reliever Jose
Ferrer. Liam Hicks knocked in Diaz and Chandler Simpson with an RBI double down
the left field line.
The Mariners have lost four in a row and five of their past six games.
