OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Franklin Gutierrez and Bill Hall hit two-run homers in the first inning Thursday, starting the Seattle Mariners on their way to a 7-4 win over Oakland.

Ichiro Suzuki opened the game with a single off Brett Tomko (3-3) and Gutierrez followed with his 15th home run of the year. After Tomko retired the next two batters, he gave up a double to Adrian Beltre and a homer to Hall.

Ian Snell (6-10) survived five innings to get the win, his fourth in as many starts. He gave up two runs on seven hits while walking four.

David Aardsma worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 34th save.

Kenji Johjima hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Seattle, which has won 10 of 13 meetings with Oakland this season.
