Braves 5, Mariners 4
Brian McCann had four hits and delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh inning to help the Atlanta Braves rally for a 5-4 victory over the host Seattle Mariners on Tuesday.
McCann’s third hit of the game drove home Eric Hinske and Nate McLouth as the Braves defeated the Mariners for the second straight night. Jordan Schafer singled home the tying run earlier in the seventh.
Dustin Ackley had a run-scoring single in the seventh for Seattle before Jonny Venters pitched a perfect eighth and Craig Kimbrel struck out two in the ninth for his 22nd save.
Tommy Hanson (9-4) gave up three runs and six hits in six innings.
Ichiro Suzuki homered on the first pitch from Hanson for his first homer of the season, and Jack Cust had a run-scoring double in the second and homered in the fourth to make it 3-0.
Dan Uggla homered in the fifth to start Atlanta’s comeback and Justin Smoak’s error on Chipper Jones’ bouncer in the sixth allowed the Braves to pull within 3-2.
Seattle’s Michael Pineda (7-5) gave up five runs (four earned) and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Pineda walked five, including three in the seventh.
