Marcus Semien homered twice, Corey Seager had a go-ahead, two-run shot and the Texas Rangers held on to beat the Seattle Mariners 9-8 on Sunday to finish a three-game sweep in a crucial AL West series.
Hernández, Kelenic and Suárez had consecutive two-out RBI singles in the eighth as Seattle closed to 9-8 before Jonathan Hernández came on to get pinch-hitter Dominic Canzone on a popout.
José Leclerc finished for his fourth save, with first baseman Nathaniel Lowe making a nifty snag of a sharp grounder down the line from pinch-hitter José Caballero for the final out with the potential tying run at second base. A solo shot in the fourth gave Semien his third multihomer game this season, all in September, on a drive to center that caromed out of the glove of center field Julio Rodríguez and over the wall.
Seager’s 33rd homer gave the Rangers a 3-2 lead in the third, and Taveras ended Woo’s outing with his 13th home run, a two-run shot in the fourth.
