SEATTLE — Randy Arozarena smacked a three-run homer towards his former crew, Bryce Miller allowed two hits and tied a profession excessive with 10 strikeouts over seven innings, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 on Monday evening.
Jorge Polanco added a solo residence run, his thirteenth longball of the season, and backup infielder Leo Rivas added a two-out RBI single because the Mariners improved to 3-1 beneath new supervisor Dan Wilson.
Miller’s 10 strikeouts matched the mark he’s reached 4 instances in his profession, the final coming in April towards the Braves. Miller (10-7) retired the aspect so as in 5 of his seven innings.
“I really like the actual fact he simply throws strikes,” Wilson mentioned. “He will get forward, he dominates the zone. We discuss that rather a lot. He looks as if he’s at all times in command of the at-bat.”
Josh Lowe had the one success towards Miller with a solo homer within the second inning and a single within the fifth.
It was Miller’s sixth outing this season pitching seven full innings. In these six begins, he’s thrown 42 innings, allowed two runs and struck out 49. Miller wasn’t thrilled along with his fastball command, however his different pitches have been working.
“All of the secondaries felt actually good,” he mentioned. “So I used to be capable of on the counts the place I received forward put them away.”
Arozarena was acquired from the Rays in late July forward of the commerce deadline with the hope of including size to Seattle’s batting order. After a stable begin, he had struggled currently and was in a 4-for-39 droop with only one extra-base hit and one RBI in his earlier 11 video games getting into Monday.
Maybe seeing previous mates helped. Arozarena spent a while within the Rays clubhouse earlier than the sport catching up with former teammates and Tampa Bay supervisor Kevin Money.
Then he delivered the blow that broke open the sport.

With two outs within the third, Julio Rodríguez’s routine grounder bounded beneath the glove of former Mariner Jose Caballero at third base. Cal Raleigh adopted with a cue shot off the top of his bat that hit third base for an infield single.
“(Caballero), the defensive run he’s been on is simply superb. Not that it was sure to occur {that a} ball will get by him, however he’s performed elite defence,” Money mentioned. “Unlucky within the second. After which most likely the flawed man in Randy developing.”
Followers have been nonetheless chuckling at Raleigh’s hit when Rays starter Ryan Pepiot (7-6) left a cutter on the outer half of the plate and Arozarena drove it out to proper discipline. It was simply his second residence run since being traded to Seattle and his first since July 29 — his third recreation with the Mariners.
“One thing I’m not going to ever do is lose my confidence, however when one thing like that occurs it simply boosts your confidence somewhat extra,” Arozarena mentioned by means of an interpreter.
Pepiot pitched six innings and solely two of the 5 runs he allowed have been earned.
