Cruz, Span go back-to-back, fuel Mariners’ win

The Mariners had one of their worst defensive innings of the season Wednesday night, committing three errors in a frame for the first time in 2018 to give away a one-run lead in the fifth. But Nelson Cruz and Denard Span bailed out the Mariners’ shoddy defense with back-to-back homers in the bottom of the frame to send Seattle on its way to a 5-2 victory over the Orioles at Safeco Field.
