SEATTLE, May 11 (UPI) -- Raul Ibanez, Yuniesky Betancourt and Miguel Cairo each drove in two runs Sunday when the Seattle Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3.

Ibanez hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the third inning to erase a 2-1 deficit. Betancourt hit a two-run double in the fourth and Miguel Cairo added an RBI groundout in the first and an RBI double in the eighth.

Jose Lopez and Ichiro Suzuki had three hits apiece, while Betancourt and Kenji Johjima had two hits each for the Mariners, who averted a three-game sweep.

Winner Miguel Batista (3-4) yielded three earned runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings with three walks and six strikeouts.

Closer J.J. Putz earned his third save this season with a scoreless ninth.

Chicago got RBI from three different players. Orlando Cabrera had four hits and Carlos Quentin two for the White Sox, who failed to get their first-ever three-game sweep at Seattle's Safeco Field.

The losing pitcher was starter Gavin Floyd (3-2).
