Mitch Haniger and Jarred Kelenic both homered twice and the Seattle Mariners rallied for 2 runs in the bottom of the 11th inning to beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 last night at T-Mobile Park.

Chris Flexen, who was the 8th pitcher of the night for the Mariners, picked up the win with an inning of relief.

Seattle took two of the three games in the series, and are now one win away, or a Baltimore loss, from securing an American League Wild Card playoff spot. In fact, the Mariners are now a half game ahead of Tampa Bay for the second A.L. Wild Card.

Seattle begins a 3-game series at home tonight with Oakland. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. with live coverage in the LC Valley on 93.1 FM and 1350 AM KRLC.
