Seattle lost for the sixth time in seven games before the smallest crowd in Safeco Field history to move back into a last-place tie in the AL West. Mariners hitters continued their mostly punchless season with just seven harmless hits in seven innings off Ponson (2-0), who worked quickly and at times effortlessly. He struck out two and walked one.

The Rangers scored 10 runs in three innings on just six hits and seven walks. Seattle starter Miguel Batista 2-4) and Cha Seung Baek walked 10 in all.
