The Texas Rangers scored eight runs in the 11th inning, including a two-run homer by Prince Fielder, to pull away from the Seattle Mariners for an 11-3 victory Saturday.
Texas opened the inning with seven straight hits, the first six off Rob Rasmussen (1-1). Fielder's homer was the eighth hit of the frame for the Rangers and marked the third time this year the Mariners have given up eight runs in an inning.
The offensive outburst came after the Mariners were unable to drive home a run in the bottom of the 10th. Shawn Tolleson (4-2) intentionally walked Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano to load the bases with two outs. The move worked, as Tolleson struck out Jesus Montero to end the inning.
Texas has won five of six and snapped a six-game losing streak against the Mariners.
The Rangers scored three times in the fourth on a run-scoring double by Fielder, an RBI single by Josh Hamilton and a bases-loaded walk to Chris Gimenez.
