SAN DIEGO (AP) - Doing the little things right paid off all weekend for the Seattle Mariners. There was Willie Bloomquist stealing third base on Trevor Hoffman's high leg kick, Jamie Burke scoring the tying run by reaching past the catcher's leg to slap home plate and Miguel Batista winning in relief.
The Mariners rallied for the second straight game, scoring an unearned run off Trevor Hoffman in the ninth inning to beat the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Sunday and hand the NL West leaders their first sweep of the season.
"No matter the situation or what was going on, there was always a push there, from everybody," manager Mike Hargrove said.
