Mariners 3, Baltimore 2
Welcome back, Adrian Beltre! The suddenly hot slugger had all three ribbies: a mammoth two-run homer off the facade of the LF deck in the third inning and a walk-off single in the ninth. Beltre's hitting .368 over the past 13 games. David Aardsma gets the win after pitching a scoreless ninth, but Jason Vargas is the real moundsman of note, pitching into the sixth and allowing only two runs despite some iffy M's fielding. Ichiro extended his franchise-record hitting streak to 27 games with a single in the third. Box score. Next game Friday vs. MIN, 7:10 p.m.; King Felix vs. Francisco Liriano.
