Beltre Homers to Spark 5-run 9th as Mariners Rally Past Indians

Posted Apr 29, 08 11:02 PM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(Newser) – Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in Seattle's five-run ninth inning, and the Mariners beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 on Tuesday night. Jose Lopez singled to start the ninth off Rafael Betancourt (1-1) and took second on a soft single by Raul Ibanez. Beltre then hit an 0-1 pitch the opposite way to right for his fifth homer and a 5-2 lead.

Yuniesky Betancourt added a two-out, two-run single off Craig Breslow. Mark Lowe (1-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win. He came on to strike out Jhonny Peralta and end the eighth after Cleveland tied it 2-2 on an RBI groundout by Travis Hafner. Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore returned after missing two games with a sprained right ankle.
