Suzuki gets five hits as Mariners get 10 9 victory over Athletics

Ichiro Suzuki had five hits and scored the winning run, and the Seattle Mariners snapped a 15-game losing streak against Oakland with a 10-9 victory in 10 innings Monday night that kept the Athletics' magic number at two for clinching the AL West title.

Willie Bloomquist lined an RBI single with two outs in the 10th to give the Mariners a comeback win after they rallied from a 9-3 deficit. They scored three times in the ninth against closer Huston Street to tie it.

On the cusp of their first division title since 2003, the A's have lost three straight.

Their magic number remained at two because the Los Angeles Angels beat Texas 8-3. Oakland leads the second-place Angels by five games with six to play.
