Arlington, TX – John Jaso's RBI single capped a three-run ninth inning the Seattle Mariners used to top the Texas Rangers, 4-3, in the third of a four-game series at Rangers Ballpark.
Jesus Montero had a sacrifice fly and Michael Saunders had a run-scoring double in the ninth before Jaso slapped a base hit up the middle for the game- deciding run.
Kevin Millwood made his Mariners debut and allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out seven through a six-inning start. Lucas Luetge (1-0) earned the win with 1 1/3 innings of relief before Brandon League stranded the tying run on second base for his third save of the year.
Joe Nathan (0-2) allowed all three runs on four hits in the ninth inning to suffer the loss.
