SEATTLE, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Adrian Beltre's two-run 11th-inning homer Monday night gave the Seattle Mariners a 4-2 win over Minnesota.

It was Beltre's second shot at late-inning heroics in the game. With the Twins leading 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth, he scored the tying run when pinch-hitter Jeff Clement grounded into a double play, sending the game into extra innings.

Raul Ibanez and Jamie Burke each scored a run and Miguel Cairo had an RBI for Seattle, which has won three of its last four games following a seven-game losing streak.

Miguel Batista started for the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits in six innings with three walks and three strikeouts.

R.A. Dickey (4-8) got the win in relief.

Alexi Casilla and Delmon Young each drove in a run for the Twins, who have lost three of their last five games.

Starter Francisco Liriano went six innings, giving up one run on five hits with one walk and three strikeouts.

Reliever Jesse Crain (5-4) gave up the home run to Beltre to take the loss.
