Mariners Split First Spring Split-Squad, Beat Rockies and Lose to Padres

The games came as Seattle sharpened roster decisions following WBC returns.

Cooper Criswell struck out five over three innings to help Seattle win 10-6 at Colorado.
Rockies starter Chase Dollander was tagged for five runs in 3.2 innings with three walks and four strikeouts.
In Peoria, Luis Castillo allowed two solo homers in a 9-6 loss to San Diego as the Mariners' bullpen also faltered.
