SEATTLE -- Christian Bergman gave the Mariners everything they could have hoped for with seven scoreless innings in a spot start on Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately for Bergman, Seattle's offense didn't give him much in return as the Rangers pulled out a 5-1 victory to split the two-game Safeco Field series.
Texas pushed across a run in the eighth with three singles off relievers James Pazos and Nick Vincent and added four unearned runs in the ninth to make a winner of 44-year-old right-hander Bartolo Colon, who shut out a Mariners team minus Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano for 7 2/3 innings en route to his second win of the year.
