GAME LOG
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ A run-scoring passed ball and a bases-loaded walk keyed a four-run sixth inning, and Tom Lampkin homered Tuesday night as the Seattle Mariners rallied past the reeling Minnesota Twins 5-4. Trailing 3-0 in the sixth, the Mariners began their comeback on RBI singles by David Bell and Carlos Guillen off Joe Mays (0-4). Bell then scored the tying run when reliever Hector Carrasco's pitch deflected off Matt LeCroy's glove for a passed ball, and Alex Rodriguez drove in the go-ahead run by walking on a 3-0 pitch. Only one of Carrasco's 13 pitches was a strike. Lampkin hit his third homer of the season in the seventh off LaTroy Hawkins, helping send the Twins to their fifth consecutive loss. Minnesota pitchers walked a season-high 10. Mariners' batters, who have 131 walks this season, left the bases loaded three times. John Halama (3-0) allowed three runs and five hits in five innings. Kuzuhiro Sasaki, Seattle's fifth pitcher, got three outs for his fourth save. Mays, winless since last Sept. 24, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fourth when Bell flied out, and Minnesota went ahead in the bottom half on an RBI infield single by Midre Cummings. A throwing error by third baseman Cristian Guzman allowed a run to score in the fifth, and Denny Hocking followed with a sacrifice fly. Notes: The last time the Twins finished a season above .500 was 1992, which also was the last time they won a season series against the Mariners (8-5). ... Seattle hit 30 homers in 12 games against the Twins last year, a Mariners record for most homer off one team in one season.
