Luke Raley hit a grand slam and three-run homer and Julio Rodriguez and Josh Naylor also went deep to power the visiting Seattle Mariners to a 12-8 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
Raley collected a career-high seven RBIs while Naylor was 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Randy Arozarena added three hits and Rodriguez had two.
Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock withstood early trouble to pick up the victory and send the White Sox to their fourth loss in five games.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the first as Munetaka Murakami smacked a solo home run to the opposite field in left.
Murakami set a major league record by homering in his eighth successive series opener. He also matched New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge for the major league home run lead with 15.
Seattle answered in the second by capitalizing on Chicago starting pitcher Sean Burke's wildness. Burke had a walk, wild pitch and two hit-by-pitches. Cole Young absorbed the second HBP, which forced in a run and forged a 1-1 tie.
Both teams rallied for four runs in the third, with the Mariners doing all their damage with two outs. Two singles and a walk brought Raley to the plate. He drilled an 0-2 fastball from Burke over the right-field wall for his first career grand slam.
Chicago chipped away with Sam Antonacci's run-scoring single in the bottom half before Hancock walked a pair to load the bases. Colson Montgomery followed with a three-run double to left center on the first pitch.
Rodriguez led off the fifth with a solo shot to put the Mariners ahead 6-5. Raley (seventh inning) and Naylor (eighth) put the game away with three-run blasts against the Chicago bullpen.
Raley became the first Mariner with a grand slam and three-run shot in the same game since Nelson Cruz on July 23, 2016.
Hancock (3-1) spaced five runs and five hits over six innings with three walks and four strikeouts.
Burke, who entered with a streak of 14 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, fell to 2-3 after allowing six runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked two and struck out four.
Antonacci had two hits for the White Sox. Jarred Kelenic and Tristan Peters drove in runs in the eighth. Randal Grichuk closed the scoring with a pinch-hit solo homer off the left field foul pole in the ninth.
