DETROIT, May 2 (UPI) -- John Olerud and Bret Boone each drove in three runs and Gil Meche got his first win of the season Sunday as Seattle pounded Detroit, 12-2.
Olerud had a two-run base hit and an RBI single and Boone capped the scoring with his sixth homer in the eighth inning. After missing Saturday's contest with back spasms, Boone went 2-for-3 with three runs scored and walked twice.
The Mariners, who won for only the third time in their last 11 games, had been held to three runs or less 10 times in 24 games before coming alive with 14 hits in this one.
Meche (1-2) allowed two runs and four hits in six innings to improve to 3-0 with a 2.96 ERA lifetime against Detroit.
Detroit starter Nate Cornejo (1-3) gave up four runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings.
