Eugenio Suarez also hit a solo home run and Josh Naylor added a three-run shot as Seattle scored seven runs combined in the seventh and eighth innings.
Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 52nd home run in the ninth.
Seattle starter Bryce Miller went 5 1/3 innings, giving up five hits and two earned runs. The right-hander walked two and struck out three on 92 pitches.

Rodriguez hit a swinging bunt down the first baseline, but Waldrep let it roll foul. Rodriguez made him pay by driving the next pitch deep into the left-field bleachers for a 2-0 Mariners lead.
Matt Olson cut the lead in half with a leadoff home run in the fourth for the Braves.
The Mariners threatened to blow the game open in the sixth. Rolddy Munoz took over for Waldrep and walked Suarez and Jorge Polanco to lead off.
He was able to strike out J.P. Crawford and Pierce Johnson came on to strike out Victor Robles and induced Leo Rivas to fly out to left.
The Braves tied it in the sixth when Miller gave up one-out singles to Drake Baldwin and Kim Ha-Seong. He walked Ronald Acuna to load the bases.
Speier relieved and Michael Harris II tied the game with a fly to deep center to send home Baldwin.
