BALTIMORE (AP) — Mitch Haniger became the first Seattle player to homer out of the leadoff spot in both ends of a doubleheader, hitting a tiebreaking drive in the second game that led the Mariners over the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 for a sweep. Haniger’s fifth-inning homer off Bruce Zimmermann broke a 1-all tie. J.P. Crawford hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the sixth inning that lifted Seattle to a 4-2 win in the opener _ a fitting score for Jackie Robinson Day. Seattle won three of four from Baltimore. The Orioles have lost eight of 10.
