WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Shea Langeliers and and Nick Kurtz each hit two-run homers to lead the Athletics to a 6-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night that snapped a four-game losing streak.

J.T. Ginn (3-3) allowed one unearned run in six innings to give the A's their first win by a starting pitcher since May 15 as he silenced the streaking Yankees. New York had won five straight, outscoring the opposition by 30 runs.

Scott Barlow retired Jazz Chisholm with the bases loaded in the ninth for his second save after walking the first three batters he faced to force in three runs.

The A's made sure the Yankees would have to play from behind in this game when Langeliers connected for a two-run shot off Ryan Weathers (2-3) in the first inning.

Tyler Soderstrom added a solo shot in the sixth and Kurtz hit his 10th homer of the season in the seventh to make it 5-1.

Weathers again got little run support and is winless in four straight starts despite striking out 10 batters in 6 2-3 innings. He has the third lowest run support of any qualified pitcher this season.

The Yankees got their only run off Ginn in the fourth when Jazz Chisholm stole second with Bellinger on third. The throw hit off second baseman Alika Williams' glove for an error, allowing Bellinger to score.

There was a dispute over the ABS system in the fourth inning. Langeliers challenged a 2-0 pitch that he thought was low. The replay didn't appear on the scoreboard but after a delay, home plate umpire Adam Beck announced it was a strike even though the replay on on MLB.com showed the pitch was 0.8 inches low. It ended up being mostly moot as Langeliers eventually drew a walk.

RH Will Warren (6-1, 3.55 ERA) will start the series finale for the Yankees. The A's hadn't announced a starter.

SEATTLE (AP) — Luke Raley and Julio Rodríguez homered for the second straight game — two of four solo shots by Seattle in the first three innings — and the Mariners beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Saturday night behind seven shutout innings from Bryan Woo.

Woo (5-3) allowed only two fifth-inning singles while matching his season high with nine strikeouts in a fifth straight victory for the Mariners — their longest winning streak of the season.

The 26-year-old right-hander did not allow a baserunner until Adrian Del Castillo singled with one out in the fifth, striking out five in a row at one point.

Cooper Criswell allowed a hit in the eighth, and Alex Hoppe issued the game's only walk with two outs in the ninth and then failed to cover home on a wild pitch allowing Geraldo Perdomo to score from second and spoil the shutout.

Raley homered for the 13th time as Seattle grabbed the lead against Ryne Nelson (2-4) in the second. Dominic Canzone hit his sixth homer one out later for a 2-0 advantage.

Rookie Colt Emerson led off the third with his second homer, and Rodríguez followed one out later with his 12th for a 4-0 lead. Rodríguez has 10 homers in May, two more than he’s ever hit in a single month.

Randy Arozarena reached on a two-base throwing error by Jose Fernandez to begin the sixth before scoring on Cole Young's sacrifice fly to make it 5-0, leading to Nelson's exit after 99 pitches.

The right-hander, who had never surrendered more than two home runs in any of his previous 89 starts, allowed five runs — four earned — on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

The AL West-leading Mariners (30-29) move above .500 for the first time since they were 3-2.

Seattle hit four home runs in a 7-6 10-inning victory in the opener. The last time the Marisners hit as many as eight homers in the first two games of a series was in 1999 when they had 10 against the Twins.

Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (5-3, 5.25) was set to start Sunday opposite RHP Bryce Miller (1-0, 2.25) as the Mariners go for the sweep.
