Rangers score two in eighth to top Mariners

Martin Perez allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings Tuesday night, and a Shin-Soo Choo sacrifice fly delivered the first of two runs in the eighth as the Texas Rangers edge the Seattle Mariners 3-1

Elvis Andrus singled to drive in the second eighth-inning run, and Joey Gallo drove in the game’s first one with a slow roller that allowed Adrian Beltre to run/hobble in from third base.

Tony Barnette was awarded the wins after relieving Perez, how issued four hits. Robinson Chirinos made a key play in the seventh, picking off Yonder Alonso at third base for the second out of the inning to help Barnette escape in a 1-1 tie.
