Mariners 6, Indians 5: Mike Zunino smacked a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning as Seattle edged host Cleveland.

Kyle Seager walked against Bryan Shaw (4-3) to start the eighth and Zunino followed with a liner over the left-field wall. Joe Beimel (3-1) recorded the final out of the seventh, Brandon Maurer sailed through the eighth and American League saves leader Fernando Rodney worked around a two-out single by Carlos Santana in the ninth to record his 30th.

Santana also delivered a run-scoring single in the seventh to give the Indians a 5-4 lead. Michael Brantley reached base four times on two hits and two walks and Jason Kipnis homered for Cleveland.

Brantley had a run-scoring single in the first for Cleveland before the Mariners tied it in the second on Logan Morrison’s sacrifice fly to right. Dustin Ackley hit a two-run homer to right in the third inning and Robinson Cano drilled a run-scoring double later in the frame to give Seattle a 4-1 edge.

Cleveland struck for three in the bottom of the third, the first two coming on Kipnis’ two-run homer to right-center field before Brantley laced a triple later in the inning and scored on Santana’s sacrifice fly. Indians starter Zach McAllister allowed four runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 frames, while Seattle’s Chris Young gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
