CLEVELAND (AP) — J.P. Crawford singled in the go-ahead run in the 11th inning, Cal Raleigh added a two-run homer and the Seattle Mariners beat the slumping Guardians 6-3 for their seventh straight win in a game that was delayed by rain for 4 hours, 33 minutes.
The Guardians’ loss dropped them into a tie with Minnesota for first place in the AL Central.
With one out, Crawford bounced a single past Trevor Stephan (4-4) and into center field to score Eugenio Suárez, who began the 11th as the automatic runner.
Raleigh, who homered twice on Friday, followed by belting a 2-2 pitch to right for his 22nd homer.
Matthew Boyd (1-0) worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the 10th and Chris Flexen pitched the 11th for his second save of the season as the Mariners completed a three-game sweep.
Mariners 4, Guardians 0
Robbie Ray started September the way he finished August with six solid innings as the Seattle Mariners won their sixth straight, 4-0 over the Guardians Saturday.
The Guardians were shut out for the third time in four games.
Ray was one of the AL’s top pitchers last month, going 3-0 in five starts.
The left-hander allowed six hits, but not a costly one.
Mariners first baseman Ty France homered in the first inning off Cleveland rookie Xzavion Curry.
Seattle currently holds one of the AL’s three wild-card spots and has won 13 of 17.
The Guardians have lost four in a row and were shut out for the fifth time in 10 games.
