SEATTLE -- Kyle Seager and Tom Wilhelmsen walked out of Cleveland in May feeling bitten by a run of bad luck that saw the Seattle Mariners lose twice in extra innings as part of a four-game sweep by the Indians. The luck seems to be evening out. Seager and Mike Zunino came up with clutch hits early, and the Mariners used an unlikely ninth inning double play to pull out a 4-3 win over the Indians on Tuesday night and extend their winning streak to eight games. Playing without ailing manager Eric Wedge for a second straight game, the Mariners took advantage of defensive miscues by the Indians, received solid pitching and executed flawlessly in the ninth inning when it appeared Cleveland was set to at least tie the game. The Mariners extended the longest current win streak in baseball and have a chance Wednesday for their first nine-game win streak since 2003. "When we were in Cleveland they were playing really good baseball obviously and they got a few breaks for them and thats what good teams do," Seager said. "This series weve been playing pretty well and weve been able to capitalize when given the opportunities." The ninth started ominously with Mark Reynolds singling on Wilhelmsens first pitch of the inning. Drew Stubbs came on to pinch run and went racing to third on Lonnie Chisenhalls single up the middle to put runners on the corners with no outs. Thats when the craziness began. Yan Gomes hit a chopper to third base. Seager briefly looked at Stubbs and quickly threw to second to get pinch runner Mike Aviles. Stubbs found himself caught between making a sprint for the plate or staying at third. When he started to break for home, Nick Franklin was already throwing to the plate. Stubbs was caught in a rundown and eventually tagged out by shortstop Brad Miller. It was a fundamentally solid play mostly by a group of players that havent been in the big leagues for very long. "Our young guys right there, the way they executed that was quite impressive, starting with Seager and then Franklin and Miller getting over there. Thats not an easy guy to track down either," said Seattle bench coach Robby Thompson, who filled in for Wedge again. "It was great court awareness, if you would, for the young guys." Stubbs said he never should have hesitated once Seager threw to second. "Its a play youve got to run through scenarios in your head and make your mind up and go with it," Stubbs said. "Any slight hesitation is going to cost you like it did." Wilhelmsen then struck out Michael Bourn looking to end it. "Thats what winning is about, is taking advantage of those opportunities and were starting to do that more times than not as of late," Wilhelmsen said. The Mariners believed they would have Wedge back in the dugout a day after he went to a local hospital following dizzy spells during batting practice. But doctors kept Wedge for one more night while more tests were run to try and determine a cause. Thompson improved to 2-0 as the Mariners fill-in manager. Seager had an RBI double in the first, an inning that was kept alive by a Cleveland error. He singled and scored the tying run in the third and Zunino came through with a two-out RBI off Cleveland starter Zach McAllister (4-6) later in the inning to give Seattle the lead. Raul Ibanez, Kendrys Morales and Michael Saunders all had doubles in the third inning. Zuninos two-out single into right field scored Saunders with what proved to be the winning run. Zunino had a solo homer on Monday night that was the winning run in a 2-1 victory. Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez and a pair of relievers made the one-run lead stand up. Ramirez (1-1) pitched 5 2-3 innings, before giving way to Yoervis Medina, who threw 2 1-3 innings allowing just one hit. Wilhelmsens wild ninth was good enough for his 23rd save. Ramirez gave up a two-run homer to Gomes in the second, but allowed only one baserunner past first base the rest of the night. The big inning for Ramirez was the third, when the Indians had runners on the corners and two outs and got Reynolds to weakly ground out. "Sometimes things just kind of snowball and go your way and they seem to be going our way a little bit," Thompson said. NOTES: Clevelands three errors matched its season high, done on two other occasions this season. ... Seattle sent reliever Bobby LaFromboise to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday to clear a roster spot for Ramirez to make the start. ... Three of Gomes seven homers this season have come against Seattle.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Cameron Maybins sprained left thumb can heal later, once the chase for the playoffs is over.The Detroit Tigers need his help now.Maybin reached base three times and drove in three runs, including a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth inning, to help spark the Tigers in an 8-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.Its just going to be worse if you make it, said Maybin, who appeared in his second game after a stint on the disabled list. I am at a point where we have a lot of important games coming up, and I just feel like I need to be in the lineup whether Im 100 percent or not. Its tough having a thumb issue, but it is what it is.Anibal Sanchez (7-12) pitched seven innings to win a start on the road for the first time since the first week of the season, and the Tigers broke the game open in the seventh with soaring home runs by Erick Aybar and Victor Martinez.Moved to the bullpen in June, Sanchez was 1-6 with an 8.76 ERA in his 10 turns outside of Detroit until this critical performance to lift the lid on a series against the worst team in the league. He surrendered six hits with no walks, following seven scoreless innings with one hit allowed against Kansas City last week.Every good outing he has, whether its at home or on the road, is a building block for him, manager Brad Ausmus said, adding: It doesnt hurt to get the monkey off your back.Right after the Tigers took command in the sixth, Sanchez needed only seven pitches for three outs in the bottom of the inning.The same approach, Sanchez said. Im always thinking to throw my first pitch for a strike and get the first guy of the inning out.Brian Dozier gave Minnesota the lead in the fifth with his 29th homer, a new career high, but Kyle Gibson (5-8) couldnt hold it. He threw two of the teams three wild pitches in the decisive sixth, when rain started to fall hard and the Tigers tallied three runs on three singles and a walk.Lost the feel, lost the grip, and just couldntt find it back when I needed to, said Gibson, who threw only 51 of 98 pitches for strikes.ddddddddddddGibson was one strike away from escaping the second inning unscathed, after Justin Uptons double put runners at second and third with one out, but Maybin forced in the games first run with a walk.Maybin, hitting ninth out of precaution for the injury, walked again to lead off the fifth. He stole second, reached third on a throwing error by catcher Juan Centeno and then jogged home to tie the game on a single by Aybar.Im sitting there going, `Dont swing at the ball until you get two strikes, Maybin said. Little things like that. I think it helps me stay with my approach a little bit more, for sure, as far as what pitch Im looking for.Detroit entered the day in fourth place in the AL wild-card race, three games out of the second spot. The Tigers won for the second straight time following a 3-10 stretch that severely damaged their postseason bid, with three hits each by Martinez and Miguel Cabrera. J.D. Martinez had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest active string in the league.The Twins fell to 2-8 against the Tigers this year, losing their fifth straight game. Thats their longest skid since dropping five in a row June 14-18.Im holding on the hope were going to play better and get back on track, manager Paul Molitor said.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: RHP Jordan Zimmermann is on track for the first of three rehab starts this weekend, slated for a mid-September return from tightness in his lat muscle.Twins: Miguel Sano was the DH again, due to elbow pain, but Molitor said he could return to 3B as soon as Wednesday.UP NEXTThe Tigers will send LHP Matt Boyd (4-2, 3.93 ERA) to the mound on Wednesday night for his 13th start of the season. LHP Tyler Duffey (8-9, 5.93 ERA) will take his 22nd turn for the Twins. ' ' '
