SEATTLE -- James Paxton continued his dominant month by allowing one run in seven innings and striking out 11, and Mitch Haniger's two-out RBI single in the sixth inning helped give the Seattle Mariners a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.
Seattle won its 14th one-run game, thanks largely to another strong performance by Paxton. The lefty allowed just three hits -- two of them to Max Kepler -- and didn't walk a batter adding to a magnificent May that has been the finest month of his career.
