J.P. Crawford homered and drove in three runs and Dylan Moore also went deep to go along with three runs, fueling the visiting Seattle Mariners to an 8-5 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday.
Crawford belted a two-run homer in the third inning and ripped an RBI double in the fourth. Luke Raley added a solo shot in the fifth inning and Moore did the same in the sixth.
Mitch Garver drove in two runs and Cal Raleigh had an RBI double to propel the Mariners to their fourth win in a row and their 17th in the past 22 games.
The power surge was more than enough for right-hander Bryce Miller (6-5), who allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits in 5 2/3 innings to improve to 3-0 in his past five starts. Miller walked two and struck out two.
Will Brennan had an RBI single among his three hits and Jose Ramirez added a run-scoring single for the Guardians, who have lost three straight games for the second time this season. They also dropped three straight from May 9-11.
Cleveland opened the scoring in the second inning before Seattle erupted for four runs in the third.
Moore worked a walk to lead off the inning before Crawford deposited a 3-1 fastball from Triston McKenzie (3-4) over the wall in center field to give the Mariners a 2-1 advantage. Crawford's homer was his seventh of the season and fourth in June.
Josh Rojas had a single and came around to score on Raleigh's double to center field. Raleigh, in turn, scored on Garver's double to stake Seattle to a 4-1 lead.
That closed the book on McKenzie, who fell to 0-4 in his career against the Mariners after permitting four runs on three hits in 2 1/3 innings. He walked four and didn't record a strikeout.
Moore and Crawford hit back-to-back doubles in the fourth to make it 5-1. The solo shots from Raley and Moore later pushed Seattle's lead to six.
Cleveland scratched across a pair of runs in the sixth inning and one apiece in the seventh and eighth, but Seattle's Andres Munoz recorded the final five outs to secure his 13th save of the season.
