One out later, Felix Hernandez (7-6) issued a walk to Carlos Ruiz and Victorino looped a hit down the left field line that landed just fair and bounced into the stands for a two-run, ground rule double, giving the Phillies a 3-1 lead.

Victorino added a two-run blast in the ninth to ice the win for first-place Philadelphia, which evened their three-game set against the Mariners.

Michael Stutes (1-0) got the win with 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Vance Worley, who yielded one run on five hits over five frames.

Hernandez ended up allowing three runs on eight hits in a seven-inning effort for the Mariners.
