Summary
Randy Arozarena finished a 5-4 Seattle win with a two-run walk-off homer after the Mariners came to their final out trailing by two in the ninth.
Two homers and a robbery made it a rare all-around game: Arozarena also led off with a 416-foot blast and took one away from Miguel Amaya to support MLB debutant Kade Anderson.
Elias said Arozarena became just the seventh player ever to hit both a leadoff and walk-off homer in the same game, and only the third to do it on his team's first and last pitches.
Seattle moved Arozarena to the top spot only after Brendan Donovan was scratched, and the win pushed the Mariners to 62-68, three games back in the AL West after Texas and Houston also lost.
