Cal Raleigh homered again, rookie Cole Young also went deep and George Kirby pitched six strong innings as the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 6-0 on Thursday night. Raleigh hit his major league-leading 42nd home run in the fifth inning, two batters after Young hit his third, to give Seattle a 3-0 lead.

In the sixth, with it still a game at 3-0, the Rangers threatened a two-out rally with a single by Seager and a double to the wall by Marcus Semien. Seager, a below-average runner, was held up at third. And stranded there when Adolis García struck out.

The Seattle Mariners are making waves at the trade deadline. Will it be enough to hold off the Texas Rangers in the American League Wild Card race?
