MLB: Seattle 5, Pittsburgh 4

PITTSBURGH, June 20 (UPI) -- Ichiro Suzuki's RBI double sparked a three-run seventh inning Sunday as the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Randy Winn's run-scoring single lifted Seattle into a 2-2 tie, but Willie Bloomquist was thrown out at the plate on a fielder's choice. With two out, Suzuki ripped a double that drove in Winn with the go-ahead run. An error by center fielder Tike Redman enabled Jolbert Cabrera to score for a 4-2 lead.
