SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh and Luis Torrens hit back-to-back homers, Dylan Moore scored the go-ahead run on consecutive wild pitches and the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 4-3. 

Seattle's Yusei Kikuchi struck out a career-high 12 and Oakland's Frankie Montas fanned 10. 

Neither starter figured in the decision in a game that included punches thrown in the stands during a fight that attracted a lot of views on social media. 

Moore manufactured the tiebreaking run. 

Pinch-hitting in the seventh, he hustled out an infield single with two outs, stole his 15th bases and scored on a pair of wild pitches by reliever Jake Diekman. 

Oakland had won three in a row.
