SEATTLE — Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager hit three-run homers and James Paxton was effective enough for five innings to pace Seattle to a 12-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
Cano staked the Mariners to a 3-0 lead in the first and Seager’s shot capped a seven-run fourth inning that extended the lead to 12-2 as Seattle won for the eighth time in nine games.
Paxton (5-0), who missed most of May with a left forearm strain, allowed three runs and five hits with three walks in his second start since coming off the disabled list.
