On the overthrow, Suarez tried to score, but he was thrown out at the plate by Garcia in right field. But Seattle took the lead on Sam Haggerty's RBI single to left field.

Texas responded in the fourth inning off Gilbert. Lowe doubled, Meibrys Viloria walked and both scored on Bubba Thompson's two-run single.

In the fifth inning, Perez's walk to Dylan Moore proved costly when Moore scored on Mitch Haniger's RBI single.

Texas regained a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning. Seager doubled and scored the go-ahead run on Gilbert's wild pitch.

But the back-and-forth affair continued into the sixth inning. This time it was the Mariners taking advantage of a Texas mistake. Crawford doubled and scored on Seager's throwing error on Julio Rodriguez's grounder, making it 3-3.
