SEATTLE — Dee Gordon and Mitch Haniger homered and Mike Leake pitched seven strong innings to lift Seattle. Edwin Encarnacion went deep twice for the Indians, his 29th career multihomer game. Gordon and Haniger connected in the seventh, when the Mariners broke a 2-all tie on the way to winning the series. Leake gave up two runs and five hits. He has allowed three runs or fewer in all six starts since joining the Mariners late last season. Gordon led off the seventh with a tiebreaking shot to right field off Dan Otero. Three batters later, Haniger added a two-run drive off reliever Tyler Olson to give Seattle a 5-2 lead.
