Mariners Stop Skid, Halt A's Historic Losing Streak
- The Seattle Mariners won 3-2 against the Oakland A's on Tuesday, returning to .500 and winning for the second time in as many days.
- Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning that tied the game, and Ty France followed with a home run of his own to put Seattle on top for good.
- The pitching was the difference-maker, with Seattle starting pitcher Marco Gonzales yielding two runs in the first inning but then settling in and frustrating hitters.
- The Mariners led the big leagues last season in one-run wins but have struggled in games decided by one run this season.
- France was hit on the left wrist by a 95-mph fastball from A's reliever Trevor May in the eighth inning, but tests after the game revealed a contusion with significant swelling but no fracture.
