Mariners back Karns with enough offense in 4-3 win over A's (Yahoo Sports)

Steve Cishek's seventh consecutive save this season resembled many of the previous six - a few tense moments, a couple of baserunners and a perfect pitch to end it. Considering how well Seattle's bullpen has performed this season, rookie manager Scott Servais didn't mind the late drama. Cishek struck out pinch-hitter Jed Lowrie with two runners on in the ninth inning Monday night to nail down a 4-3 win over the Oakland Athletics and give the Mariners their fifth consecutive win at the Coliseum.
