ATLANTA, June 21 (UPI) -- Brian McCann's broken bat RBI single in the bottom of the ninth Saturday delivered Atlanta's 5-4 victory against the Seattle Mariners.

Atlanta's Ruben Gotay hit a solo homer with two outs in the eighth.

Mark Teixeira and Chipper Jones also had one RBI.

The winner was Blaine Boyer (2-5).

Seattle's Yuniesky Betancourt had two hits and three RBI.

Jeff Reed drove in one run and Ichiro Suzuki also had two hits for the Mariners, who have lost six of seven.
