Andrés Muñoz said he's dealing with some elbow soreness recently, and that he was only going to be installed with a lead for the first two games of this series here in Oakland ... He downplayed the severity, though, saying he should be fine.

Justin Turner in passing expressed frustration that home-plate umpire Manny Gonzalez did not appeal to Tom Hanahan at first base on what he believed was a check-swing that yielded strike three instead of ball four in the 9th inning.

A high-angle look at the Mariners' final out of the night, where Randy Arozarena was cut down when slowing into second base, immediately after Justin Turner's strikeout:

The Mariners’ summer-long spiral has taken a steeper nosedive to begin the season’s final month. “I don't know if ‘slipping away’ is the word. I think ‘frustration’ is the word we use. It's just frustrating, because we're in these games.” mlb.com/mariners/news/…

Two pitches into his outing tonight here in Oakland, George Kirby has surrendered a double to Lawrence Butler followed by a run-scoring single to Brent Rooker.

Mitch Garver falls into an 0-2 count but works his way back and pulls a 99.8 mph double into the left-center gap that scores Randy Arozarena (HBP) and Victor Robles (walk). The Mariners now lead, 2-1, here in the 2nd inning.

George Kirby has really settled in after consecutive hits on his very first two pitches of tonight’s game, having since retired 11 straight -- including eight via K ... The velocity is up 1.3 mph on each of his fastballs, too.

Luis Urías gets all of this one, and he knew it right away (so did Victor Robles). That extends the Mariners’ lead to 6-2 here in the 7th inning.

Julio Rodríguez had a pair of 300-plus-foot flyouts earlier tonight, but his first RBI comes on a swinging bunt single here in the 7th inning. He’s now 8-for-21 on this road trip.

Randy Arozarena, check-swing, two-run double.

FINAL: Mariners 16, A’s 3 RECORD: 70-70 They haven’t won like that all season, and it snaps a four-game losing streak.

The Mariners had 21 plate appearances tonight with two strikes. They K’d six times but also had five hits, three walks, one sac fly, one HBP and seven RBIs in those sequences.

Julio Rodríguez is up to 9-for-25 on this road trip, good for a slash line of .360/.452/.640 (1.092 OPS).

Bryan Woo just surrendered his first run to the A’s in his fifth career start against his hometown team -- snapping a span of 24 innings, including 13 this season. But he halts them there, after a sac fly from Seth Brown, and preserves a 3-1 lead heading into the 4th inning.

Luke Raley’s two-run insurance homer in the 8th inning proves to be vital, as Andrés Muñoz just surrendered a two-run blast to Brent Rooker that makes this a 6-4 game in the bottom of the 9th inning.

FINAL: Mariners 6, A’s 4 RECORD: 71-70 And a farewell to the Coliseum.
