CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny Salazar got off to a rocky start, then combined with two Cleveland relievers to hold the Seattle Mariners hitless over the final eight innings Saturday and give the Indians a 4-3 win.

Salazar (2-2) gave up a double to Robinson Cano in the first, followed by homers on successive pitches to Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager that made it 3-0.

Salazar struck out six in 6 1/3 innings. Andrew Miller struck out four in 1 2/3 innings and Cody Allen pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save.

Jose Ramirez and Lonnie Chisenhall each had two RBIs in Cleveland’s four-run first off Yovani Gallardo (1-3).

Cleveland has won eight of 11. Seattle’s three-game winning streak ended.

Ramirez hit a bases-loaded double and Chisenhall’s single gave the Indians a 4-3 lead.

Cruz returned to the lineup after missing Friday’s game with a tight hamstring. He hit the first pitch into trees beyond the center field wall for a two-run homer.

Gallardo gave the lead back almost immediately. He walked the bases loaded before Ramirez’s hit landed near the right field line. Jason Kipnis struck out, but Chisenhall singled up the middle.

Gallardo allowed three hits, walked three and threw 38 pitches in the first.

Salazar walked Guillermo Heredia with one out in the seventh. Miller walked pinch-hitter Carlos Ruiz, but struck out Taylor Motter and Jean Segura.

Miller struck out two in the eighth while Allen fanned two in the ninth as Cleveland’s pitchers combined to strike out 12.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Mariners: RHP Evan Scribner (sore elbow) was put on the 10-day DL before the game.

UP NEXT

Mariners: RHP Chase De Jong will make his first major league start in the series finale. He’s replacing staff ace Felix Hernandez (right shoulder bursitis) in the rotation.

RANGERS 6, ANGELS 3

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle for the second time and Yu Darvish pitched six effective innings, helping the Texas Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels.

Darvish (3-2) allowed one earned run, struck out 10 and walked four, finishing with 125 pitches. He fell five pitches short of his major league high, thrown as a rookie in 2013.

BREWERS 3

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Matt Kemp homered three times and drove in five runs, powering the Braves to their fourth straight victory.

METS 5, NATIONALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Conforto hit two home runs and slumping Jose Reyes also connected, leading the Mets to the victory.
