Mets struggle with bats in 5-2 loss to Mariners

David Wright hit an RBI single on the 10th anniversary of his major league debut. Kyle Seager drove in two runs, Mike Zunino homered into the second deck at Safeco Field and Dustin Ackley stole a home run with a leaping catch at the wall as Seattle improved to 8-2 all-time against the Mets. Seattle's bullpen was stellar the rest of the way, helped by Ackley's outstanding grab to rob Travis d'Arnaud of a home run in the sixth. Seager had RBI singles in his first two at-bats and Zunino hit his 14th homer of the season, an estimated 415-foot shot off Niese (5-5) into the second deck in left field. Niese's streak of 21 straight starts giving up three earned runs or less was snapped when Willie Bloomquist collected his third hit, an RBI double in the fourth inning for a 4-1 Seattle lead. Wright had an RBI single, but the Mets' only other run came on second baseman Robinson Cano's error in the ninth that allowed Juan Lagares to score. Ackley found the left-field fence, got just enough elevation to get his glove over the wall and made the catch in the webbing of his glove.
