SEATTLE -- Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole cruised through 5 2/3 innings of hitless ball until Jean Segura spoiled any no-no thoughts with an infield single on Monday.
And that two-out grounder to second wound up opening the doors to a two-run rally as the Mariners lit up a crowd of 35,198 fans eager to see Seattle challenge the defending World Series champion Astros in the American League West chase.
Denard Span followed Segura with a base hit to center and Nelson Cruz drove both in with a double down the left-field line on a ball with a 110.
