Rays rally to tie but fall in extra innings

"He got home runs off guys that don't give them up," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said after Seager's game-winning solo shot, which followed an earlier grand slam. "He was just phenomenal tonight. He saved us."

The dramatic turnaround came after the Rays erased the Mariners' three-run lead in the ninth, when they loaded the bases with no outs against Fernando Rodney. Evan Longoria then delivered a two-run double and Jake Elmore hit into a fielder's choice that tied the score at 6 and gave Elmore four RBIs.

"Liked the way we came back there," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.
