Rodriguez Excels in 11-8 Seattle Win
In a high-scoring game between Seattle and Houston, shortstop Alex Rodriguez was a difference-maker. The 24-year-old helped Seattle grab the 11-8 win. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Norm Charlton earned the save for Seattle, his 1st of the year. Seattle, now 48-36, holds down second place in the American League Western Division.

Seattle grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Rodriguez hit a 2-run home run off Gerrit Cole. His 20th home run of the season put the Mariners out in front, 7-5.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Rodriguez, "this wasn't it."
