    Another game, another home run for Kendrys Morales. For the the third game in row, the Mariners newcomer had a dinger, helping Seattle to its sixth consecutive win, 6-3 over Bary Zito and the San Francisco Giants, before a near-sellout of 11,188 for a night game in Peoria Tuesday.His fifth of the spring was an opposite-field solo off Shane Loux in the seventh inning that bumped his batting average to .366 with 11 runs and 10 RBI in 13 Cactus League games.

    The Mariners’ 17-7 record ties the Kansas City Royals (17-6-1) for most spring training wins.

    Rookie starter Brandon Maurer continued to impress with three hits and one run allowed in five innings. He struck out four. Tom Wilhelmsen (1-1) earned the win despite allowing two runs, and Kameron Loe recorded his first save with a scoreless ninth inning.

    After Zito struck out the first five consecutive batters, Brad Miller was  hit by a pitch, stole second base and scored on a two-out single to left field by Nick Franklin.

    Trailing 3-2 in the sixth, the Mariners took the lead for good with a pair of runs from sacrifice flies by Miller and Franklin.

    Franklin, Kyle Seager and Michael Saunders had two hits.
