Raleigh completes Mariners' rally with 2nd homer of game to avoid Blue Jays' sweep

Cal Raleigh slammed a two-run homer in the 10th inning and the Seattle Mariners earned a 10-8 comeback win to avoid a series sweep against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

The win halted the Mariners' (12-16) four-game losing streak and snapped the Blue Jays' (18-10) six-game winning streak before 40,158 at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Raleigh's extra-inning blast to right field came off Toronto reliever Zach Pop (1-1) with one out and was his second of the contest.

Paul Sewald (2-0) worked the ninth for the win. Reliever Matt Brash yielded a George Springer single for the Blue Jays' 14th hit but recovered for his first save of the year.

The Mariners overcame a three-run deficit with a one-out, two-run homer to right centre from Raleigh in the eighth inning off Toronto reliever Anthony Bass and a game-tying, two-out single to right from J.P. Crawford in the ninth off Yimi Garcia.

Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt struck out the first two Mariners he faced. He then walked Jarred Kelenic and Raleigh and hit Teoscar Hernandez to load the bases.

Fresh off the injured list after a broken right hand he suffered in spring training, Taylor Trammell crushed his first career grand slam down the right-field line.

Bassitt was unhappy with a called ball in the Kelenic at-bat. After he reviewed the pitch in the dugout on a tablet, Bassitt had a hissy fit, slamming down the device twice.

The Blue Jays righty had a prolonged discussion with home plate umpire Mark Carlson after the second inning.

Bassitt lasted five innings. He gave up a single to Kolten Wong after the Trammell grand slam and wound up walking four and striking out seven.

Trevor Richards relieved Bassitt and surrendered Hernandez's seventh homer of the season to right field with one
