Cruz homers before exiting with neck spasms

SEATTLE -- Mariners right fielder Nelson Cruz, after extending his hitting streak to 21 games in the first inning with his 34th homer, exited with neck spasms before the seventh on Tuesday night against the Orioles.

Shortstop Ketel Marte entered the game at shortstop and hit in Cruz's No. 3 spot, moving Brad Miller to left field and Seth Smith to right.
