SEATTLE -- Nothing about it was easy. Nothing really has been so far this season for the Mariners.
But Seattle white-knuckled its way to a 7-6 win over the D-backs on Friday to open its three-game interleague set, stretching its winning streak to four games thanks to a walk-off double in the 10th inning by Randy Arozarena.
Coming home after sweeping the A’s and vaulting into first place in the AL West, the Mariners felt as good as they have all season. Then they mashed four home runs -- two by J.P. Crawford and one each from Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley.
That should have been a recipe for an easy win. Instead, a packed house at T-Mobile Park was treated to a stress test, as the Mariners blew a 5-1 lead in the sixth inning, then gave up a one-run lead in the top of the ninth.
But Cooper Criswell pitched a clean 10th, thanks in large part to a diving play by Crawford to snag a 101.6 mph grounder off the bat of Corbin Carroll. Then in the bottom of the frame, Arozarena came to the plate with one out and two on against Juan Morillo and got the one non-homer hit the Mariners needed.
Raley drilled his team-leading 12th homer of the season into the seats in right field in the bottom of the sixth inning, right after George Kirby and Matt Brash combined to allow four runs in the top of the frame.

Crawford led off the bottom of the first with a home run off Zac Gallen, then got him again in the fifth inning with a 417-foot shot out to center field -- his longest homer since April 27, 2025 -- tallying his first career multihomer game.
Rodríguez, meanwhile, blasted his ninth home run of May in the bottom of the third, setting a new career high for homers in a month. His two-run shot off Gallen was a laser that left his bat at 113.6 mph, his highest exit velocity of season.
