Seattle ? The Seattle Mariners disappointed many fans and even some of their own players by failing to pull off a major trade last week.

Maybe the Mariners don’t need anybody else.

Ichiro Suzuki and Edgar Martinez each hit a two-run single in a six-run fifth inning Sunday as Seattle snapped Mark Buehrle’s seven-game winning streak with an 8-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

“That’s the nature of this team — each and every day is a new day,” Mariners manager Bob Melvin said. “They expect to win every day.”

Seattle shut down a powerful Chicago lineup for the second game in a row. Gil Meche and four relievers combined on a five-hitter with a season-high 14 strikeouts.

The Mariners outscored Chicago, 18-2, and held the White Sox to eight hits in two wins after dropping the series opener, 12-1, Friday.

The Kansas City Royals visit Chicago for a three-game series starting today.

Meche (12-7) held Chicago to one run and four hits despite throwing 116 pitches in five innings.

“I felt like I couldn’t locate my fastball … (but) I had a real good slider,” Meche said. “I was able to keep guys off-balance and got a few punchouts with it. Other than that, I didn’t have much.”

White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle, right, displays his frustration as he talks with Miguel Olivo in the fifth inning of Chicago's 8-2 loss. The setback Sunday in Seattle dropped Chicago two back of Kansas City.

Rafael Soriano, Jeff Nelson, Arthur Rhodes and Shigetoshi Hasegawa limited the White Sox to one hit the rest of the way — Aaron Rowand’s leadoff homer against Soriano in the seventh — and struck out seven (five by Soriano in two innings).

Chicago led 1-0 after Carlos Lee singled home Tony Graffanino in the fifth, but the Mariners immediately responded with six runs off Buehrle (9-11), who had won a career-best seven straight.

Buehrle walked two of the first three batters in the fifth before Willie Bloomquist singled to load the bases. Suzuki sliced a two-run single down the left-field line.

After Randy Winn flied out, Bret Boone hit an infield single.

Martinez, John Olerud and Mike Cameron drove in runs with singles on the next three pitches. Martinez’s hit scored two.

“The leadoff walk really always sets the table for you,” Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said.

The Mariners, who managed just one base hit off Buehrle in the first four innings, received RBI singles from Winn and Martinez off Billy Koch in the sixth.

Frank Thomas, 0-for-16 since getting his 1,999th career hit, was one of several Chicago regulars who did not play following a night game Saturday.

Chicago’s Magglio Ordonez is 0-for-14 since his 10-game hitting streak ended Wednesday.

Athletics 2, Yankees 1

Oakland, Calif.– Miguel Tejada did it again. The AL most valuable player clobbered a two-run double off Yankees closer Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning, ruining Andy Pettitte’s one-hit performance with his second game-ending hit in three days.

Mark Mulder (15-7) pitched a five-hitter.

He seemed headed for defeat until the dominant Pettitte was removed after walking Mark Ellis to start the ninth.

Eric Chavez moved Ellis to third with a one-out single off Rivera (5-1), then Tejada launched a drive off the elevated wall in deep left field, driving home Ellis and Chavez.

Mulder retired his first 14 batters, pitching his major league-leading eighth complete game in his third straight victory.

He allowed an RBI single to Alfonso Soriano in the fifth frame.

Red Sox 7, Orioles 5

Baltimore — David Ortiz hit two of Boston’s six home runs, and the Red Sox halted a four-game losing streak by defeating Baltimore.

Doug Mirabelli, Johnny Damon, Trot Nixon and Bill Mueller also connected for Boston.

Tim Wakefield (9-5) allowed three runs in 52/3 innings to become the ninth pitcher to win 100 games with the Red Sox. The knuckleballer won his third straight start.

After a pair of rain delays that totaled about two hours, Byung-Hyun Kim recorded six outs for his seventh save.

Twins 7, Tigers 2

Minneapolis — Johan Santana pitched six solid innings for his first win since moving into Minnesota’s starting rotation, and Shannon Stewart homered as the Twins defeated Detroit.

One day after the Tigers snapped a 16-game losing streak to Minnesota, the Twins scored two quick runs to extend Detroit’s first-inning woes. The Tigers went 1-5 on their trip to Seattle and Minnesota and allowed 22 first-inning runs.

Santana (5-3) had been 0-2 in four starts since replacing Joe Mays in the rotation on July 11. He gave up Bobby Higginson’s two-run homer and five hits, striking out seven.

Tigers starter Matt Roney (1-7) lasted only two-plus innings.

Blue Jays 4, Angels 0

Anaheim, Calif. — Kelvim Escobar, the subject of trade rumors last week, pitched into the ninth inning, and Toronto beat Anaheim.

Escobar (7-6) gave up six hits in 81/3 innings. He struck out four, walked four and won for only the second time in nine starts.

Bobby Kielty hit an RBI double, and Orlando Hudson had a two-run single.

Escobar left after giving up two hits in the ninth. Trever Miller recorded one out, and Cliff Politte notched the final out for his 12th save.

Scot Shields (2-2) allowed four runs and nine hits in five-plus innings. He struck out a career-high eight.

Rangers 8, Indians 5

Arlington, Texas — Einar Diaz hit a three-run homer, and Alex Rodriguez and Rafael Palmeiro added solo shots as the Texas Rangers won their fifth consecutive game.

Diaz’s fourth homer of the season broke a 4-4 tie in the third inning and sent his former team to its fourth straight loss and 13th in 17 games. Diaz was acquired by the Rangers from Cleveland in a December trade.

Rodriguez and Palmeiro hit back-to-back solo shots with two outs in the first.
