SEATTLE (AP) — Robbie Ray was tagged for home runs by Shea Langeliers, Cristian Pache and Nick Allen, and the Seattle Mariners hopes of hosting the AL wild-card series took a serious blow in a 10-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Seattle’s loss combined with Toronto’s victory over Houston pushed the Blue Jays lead to 2 ½ games in the race for the top wild-card spot and home-field advantage for the three-game series. Oakland starter James Kaprielian no-hit the Mariners for 5 2/3 innings before giving up a two-out single to Ty France in the sixth inning. Kaprielian struck out seven and beat Seattle for the third time this season. Langeliers added a second homer in the ninth inning.
