Crawford, Gonzales Lead Mariners To 8-3 Win Over Padres

SAN DIEGO: J.P Crawford homered, doubled and drove in three runs for the Seattle Mariners, who beat San Diego 8-3 Tuesday night to snap the Padres seven-game winning streak.

Austin Nola also homered for the Mariners, who won their fourth straight and for the fifth time in six games. Nola and Evan White had three hits apiece.

Marco Gonzales (3-2) helped deny the Padres what would have been their longest winning streak since 2012. He allowed three runs all in the third on nine hits while striking out five and walking none in five innings in his second career start against the Padres.

Crawford hit a two-run home run off Padres starter Chris Paddack (2-3) in the second and an RBI double in the sixth off Tim Hill.

The Mariners jumped on Paddack early, taking a 4-0 lead on Crawfords shot to straightaway center field with one out in the second, his first. Dee Gordon was aboard on a single. Kyle Seager hit a sacrifice fly and White had an RBI single in the first.

After allowing Crawfords homer and Sam Haggertys single in the second, Paddack retired the next 11 batters.

Nola then homered to left-center leading off the sixth, his fifth. White doubled to chase Paddack and scored on Crawfords two-out double.

The Mariners added on with RBI singles by White and Tim Lopes in the eighth.

The Mariners were coming off a three-game home sweep of the Texas Rangers, the same team the Padres swept in a four-game, home-and-home set last week.

The Padres closed to 4-3 with a two-out rally in the third on their second time through the order, highlighted by Eric Hosmers moonshot, two-run homer into the porch in right field. It was his sixth. Manny Machado, who had three hits, was aboard on a double. Wil Myers and Ty France followed with consecutive doubles before Gonzales got rookie Jake Cronenworth to fly out.

Paddack allowed six runs and eight hits in five innings, struck out seven and walked one.
