Oakland Athletics starter Zach Logue delivers a pitch during the first inning of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners, Monday, May 23, 2022, in Seattle. SEATTLE — Oakland still can’t figure out Seattle. The A’s tied a team record with their 13th straight loss to Mariners, thanks in part to prized rookie Julio Rodríguez’s first home run at home in a 7-6 win over Oakland Monday night.
After a rough first couple of weeks, Rodríguez has been one of Seattle’s best hitters for more than a month. He had his fifth multi-hit game in the past nine, adding a sharp single to go along with his fourth home run. Seattle starter Marco Gonzales pitched 5 1/3 innings to get the victory but his final numbers didn’t look great thanks to some bloop hits and shaky relief work by the Mariners. Gonzales allowed five earned runs, but reliever Penn Murfee failed to get an out, giving up two hits and a walk after Gonzlaes was lifted.Chad Pinder hit his fourth homer of the season off Gonzales, and Cristian Pache had a two-run double off Murfee. Tony Kemp also had two RBIs.
