Seattle came back with two runs in the ninth as Shed Long, Jr. hit a tying double, and Kyle Seager singled home the winning run to hand the Rays their third loss in a row while the Mariners have won four of their past five overall and eight of their last 11 home games. Yusei Kikuchi pitched seven shutout innings against the Indians on Saturday, and he has allowed only 15 earned runs in 43 innings in May and June. Michael Wacha has started seven games, but he seldom pitches more than three innings as the Rays use him to start a bullpen game. Wacha has a 4.54 ERA in 11 games overall. Most of the Rays' hitters will be seeing Kikuchi for the first time. Take the Mariners.
