Nick Castellanos continued his hot hitting driving in two runs and Jose Iglesias added an RBI on the day.

Anibal Sanchez struggled with his control in 6 1/3 innings, allowing all four Mariners runs and walking five to escape with a win on the mound. He's now 8-7 on the year. Joakim Soria battled through the ninth inning to earn his 19th save.
