Cal Raleigh hit two home runs as Bryce Miller pitched five strong innings, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati. Raleigh, who now has five homers in his last five games and 100 in his career, hit a solo homer from each side of the plate. Dylan Moore contributed with two hits and two runs scored, while Randy Arozarena and J.P. Crawford each had two hits and an RBI. Arozarena extended his on-base streak to 14 games with five doubles and 10 RBIs.
Miller, who struck out eight and allowed three hits, earned his first win of the season (1-2), while Andrés Muñoz secured his seventh save. The Reds, who had won four straight games before this matchup, saw Nick Martinez take the loss after giving up four runs in 4 2/3 innings.
