SEATTLE, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Dioner Navarro drove in the game-winning run in the 11th inning Saturday to give Tampa Bay an 8-7 win over Seattle in Game 3 of four at Safeco Field.
Mariners starter Miguel Batista (4-12) began the 11th inning walking Ben Zobrist who stole second and moved to third on Willy Aybar's ground out to the mound.
Navarro then lofted a fly ball to left, allowing Zobrist to score for an 8-7 Rays lead. Troy Percival retired the Mariners in order in the bottom of the 11th to pick up his 26th save of the season.
Carl Crawford and B.J. Upton each had two RBI and a run scored while Akinori Iwamura went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored for the Rays.
Chad Bradford (4-3) -- acquired from Baltimore Thursday and added to the roster Saturday -- got the win for pitching two scoreless innings while Matt Garza gave up five runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings for Tampa Bay, which leads the AL East by 3 1/2 games over the Boston Red Sox.
Tampa also got its 70th win of the season, which matches a franchise record set in 2004. The team is a franchise-high 24 games over .500.
Ichiro Suzuki went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and three RBI while Ryan Rowland-Smith made the third start of his career and gave up four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings for the Mariners, who have dropped three of four.
