Julio Rodriguez hit one of Seattle's four solo home runs and Bryan Woo pitched seven scoreless innings as the Mariners defeated the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Saturday night in an interleague game.
Luke Raley, Dominic Canzone and Colt Emerson also went deep as the Mariners won their fifth game in a row and moved above .500 (30-29) for the first time since they were 3-2 on March 30.
Woo (5-3) retired the first 13 batters he faced before Adrian Del Castillo lined a one-out single to center field in the fifth. An out later, Ildemaro Vargas lined a single to center, but Woo caught Jose Fernandez looking at a called third strike to get out of the inning.
Those were the only two hits Woo allowed. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and struck out nine, matching his season high.
Raley hit a solo shot to right-center with one out in the second off Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson (2-4). It was Raley's team-leading 13th homer of the season. An out later, Canzone went deep to right, nearly reaching the second deck, to make it 2-0.
Emerson led off the Seattle third with another homer to right. An out later, Rodriguez went deep to straightaway center, his 10th homer of the month and 12th of the season.
The Mariners added on without the benefit of a long ball in the sixth. Randy Arozarena reached on a throwing error by third baseman Fernandez, Raley singled to left and Cole Young lifted a sacrifice fly to right for a 5-0 lead to end Nelson's night.
The Diamondbacks, who have lost two in a row, scored their lone run in the ninth. Geraldo Perdomo walked with two outs, took second on defensive indifference and scored from there on a passed ball by catcher Mitch Garver as reliever Alex Hoppe failed to cover the plate.
Nelson gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and struck out three.
Arizona third baseman Nolan Arenado was a late scratch from the lineup for what the team called 'precautionary reasons.' Arenado, who has been dealing with groin tightness, was hit in the left arm by a fastball from Mariners closer Andres Munoz in the ninth inning Friday night.
