Corey Seager had two hits and an RBI and Jake Burger drove in the tiebreaking run with a sixth-inning double, leading the Texas Rangers to a 2-1 win over the slumping Seattle Mariners on Monday in Arlington, Texas.
The Rangers, who earned their first home win of the season, ended a four-game losing streak, while the Mariners lost for the fifth time in the past six games.
With the score 1-1 in the home sixth, Seager hit a two-out single off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert and moved to second base on a wild pitch. Burger then drove a 3-2 pitch into the gap in left-center field to drive in Seager.
Gilbert (0-2), with a 2.90 ERA in 16 previous appearances against the Rangers, pitched well against them once again on Monday but took the loss. He allowed two runs on six hits in six innings, with five strikeouts and no walks.
Seattle had just two hits for the night, one a solo home run by slugger Cal Raleigh in the first inning, his first of the season. It was the only hit yielded by Texas starter Jacob DeGrom, who went five innings, walked one and struck out six.
Jalen Beeks (1-0) threw an inning of scoreless relief for the win.
The Mariners put a runner on first base with one out in the top of the ninth when Rangers reliever Jakob Junis hit Julio Rodriguez with a pitch, but Josh Naylor grounded into a game-ending double play. Junis picked up his third save of the season.
The Rangers' bullpen also got scoreless relief from Tyler Alexander, Cole Winn and Robert Garcia.
After Raleigh's homer opened the scoring, Texas responded in the bottom of the first when Wyatt Langford doubled with one out and came home on Seager's single to right.
Texas was coming off being swept in a three-game series by the visiting Cincinnati Reds, while Seattle dropped two of three at home against the Los Angeles Angels.
