Indians 6, Mariners 5
SEATTLE — Yonder Alonso hit his third career grand slam in the first inning and Yan Gomes added a two-run shot to lead Cleveland. Alonso and Gomes provided the big blows off Seattle starter James Paxton, who struggled with command and failed to make it out of the fifth inning. Ichiro Suzuki robbed Jose Ramirez of a home run leading off the third inning, timing his leap perfectly to reach above the wall in left field and pull back a ball that appeared destined for the bullpens beyond the fence. Suzuki also had two hits. Seattle worked its way back from an early four-run deficit on the strength of home runs by Mitch Haniger and a two-run shot by Nelson Cruz in the sixth inning to pull within 6-5. Cruz had just one home run in his first 48 at-bats last season; he has two in six at-bats this year. But Seattle could never draw even as Zach McAllister and Andrew Miller pitched 2 1⁄3 scoreless innings before Cody Allen pitched the ninth for the save.
