Seattle Hands Minnesota 9-5 Defeat
Seattle took on Minnesota in front of a lively crowd.

With Alex Avila leading the charge, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Minnesota Twins, 9-5. Avila went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Mariners. The winning pitcher was Dean Chance. His record now stands at 8-2. The right-hander went 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits for the Mariners.

Early in the game, Avila had a 2-run home run for Seattle. It was his 18th home run of the season and put the Mariners on top, 3-1.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Avila told the Seattle Herald.

Seattle is now 89-51, 5½ games up in the American League.
