**Seattle Mariners Rally in Sixth to Defeat Cardinals**
**SEATTLE –** A clutch two-run double by Josh Naylor sparked a four-run sixth inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Monday night.
The Cardinals took an early lead with a two-run home run by Alec Burleson in the fourth. However, Seattle’s offense came alive in the sixth, erasing the deficit.
Mariners second baseman Leo Rivas set the table in the sixth with a nine-pitch walk, followed by singles from Randy Arozarena and Cal Raleigh to load the bases. Julio Rodríguez drove in the first run with a single, before Naylor delivered the decisive blow with a two-run double off Cardinals reliever Gordon Graceffo (3-1). Naylor then stole third and scored easily on a sacrifice fly from Jorge Polanco to cap the scoring.
Mariners starter Bryan Woo (13-7) pitched effectively, limiting the Cardinals to just Burleson’s home run. The Mariners’ bullpen then shut down the Cardinals’ offense, with Andrés Muñoz earning his 33rd save.
The Mariners have now won 17 of their last 23 games since the All-Star break, giving them the best record in MLB in the second half of the season.
The Cardinals’ Matthew Liberatore (7-11, 4.15 ERA) will face the Mariners’ George Kirby (8-7, 4.47 ERA) in the second game of the three-game series on Tuesday night.
