Franklin Gutierrez and Yuniesky Betancourt celebrate after the Mariners' win.
A weekend sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks has brought the Mariners within 2.5 games of first place in the American League West.
On top of that, the team is one game above .500 for the first time since May 7.
After enduring a stretch of games in which they appeared to be losing their early-season lustre, the M’s have climbed back to relevance and have timed their winning with losses by first-place Texas. At the same time, the Mariners have kept pace with second-place Anaheim. The Angels and Rangers are now tied for first, with Seattle lurking close behind.
