Eugenio Suárez hit his second three-run homer in two games and the Seattle Mariners held off the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Wednesday.
Seattle Mariners 4, San Diego Padres 3: Box score | Standings
Luke Raley had an RBI double and Bryan Woo earned his 12th win to help the Mariners take two of three in the series. They hold the final American League wild-card spot and sit just behind first-place Houston in the AL West.
Woo had his club record streak of 25 straight starts with at least six innings pitched to begin a season snapped, but still struck out six over 5 2/3 innings of two-run ball.
Fernando Tatis Jr. laced an RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning for the Padres. He was stranded at third when Andrés Muñoz retired Ramón Laureano on a game-ending groundout.
San Diego, in position for a National League wild card, is right on the heels of the rival Dodgers atop the NL West.
The Padres and Mariners share a spring training site in Peoria, Arizona.
Suárez, who hit a three-run shot Tuesday, replicated the feat in the fourth when he turned on a cutter from starter Yu Darvish (3-4). It was Suárez’s 42nd home run of the season, third-most in the majors.

The Mariners opened the scoring in the second when Raley flared a run-scoring double with two outs.

Gavin Sheets had an RBI single off Woo (12-7) in the sixth, and another run came around when Jake Cronenworth was hit by a pitch from reliever Gabe Speier.
Muñoz got three outs for his 31st save.
