Two up, two down.
Here's Max Muncy, the DH.
He was three for four last night with a home run.
One-two home.
Muncy sends a charge to deep left field.
Arozarena won't even move.
It is gone, and Muncy homers again.
That was absolutely hammered.
I mean, hammered.
Randy Arozarena gave it the courtesy three-step jog and said, "Yeah, no chance."
A tremendous shot by Muncy, and the A's take a one-nothing lead.
Will turn over the lineup card back to the top of the order with Henry Boltuse coming up.
3-2, grounded the other way.
That's down the right field line, and easily gonna score.
Leake, Boltuse into second standing up, an RBI double, and the A's lead two-nothing.
Do it, Hank.
We have seen him time and time again wear out the right side, and this is just a bullet shot past Naylor.
He's got no shot at it.
And the A's lead two-nothing, and that will bring up the designated hitter Max Muncy.
He'll hit it into center field.
It is sinking fast.
It's down.
Deloff waves hold.
A strong throw to the plate.
Deloff's safe, and Muncy an RBI single.
A good send for Bobby Crosby, and the A's lead three-nothing.
So an RBI single for Max Muncy.
He stays hot.
His second RBI of the game and 29th for the year.
Man, is he a hot hitter.
He is now six for 10 in this series, and the A's lead by three.
Now Walton lines one into right.
That's gonna drop and get off the wall.
Muncy scores.
Walton into second base, and Walton trades places with Max Muncy.
Now four-nothing Athletics.
For Walton, his 22nd RBI of the year, and the A's have a two run fourth and a four-nothing lead.
Jeffery Springs dialing it up and dialing it in.
There has not been a lead off base runner in this game for Seattle at any of the six innings.
Jeffery Springs, dominant.
So one on and one away for the Athletics, top of the eighth.
That'll bring up Lawrence Butler.
Now Butler launches one to left.
Arozarena looking up, and it is gone.
Lawrence Butler, a home run, making it six-nothing.
Lift off for the Law Dog.
Seattle not happy at all.
Butler goes the other way, and that is a big way to extend his hitting streak, which is now 14 consecutive games.
An opposite field home run, and the Mariners are hearing it from their fans.
Cole Young draws a walk, and the Mariners still have a pulse.
Runners on at first and third with two outs, a run in.
It's 6-2 A's, and the batter will be Weston Wilson.
Wilson on one hop to third.
Deloff gathers, throws to first, and the A's win.
The A's have secured a series win on another torturous night against the Athletics.
