Minneapolis ? This time, Seattle’s rally was enough for a victory.

Randy Winn capped a five-run sixth inning with a two-run homer as the Mariners beat Minnesota, 10-8, Tuesday.

Seattle wiped out deficits of five runs and four runs in its previous two games but lost both of them. This time, Seattle trailed 7-3 in the fourth inning before the comeback.

“There was still a lot of game left,” Seattle’s Mike Cameron said. “We’ve still got six innings to play after that.”

Bret Boone’s two-run homer in the fifth against Rick Reed pulled the Mariners to 7-5.

John Olerud tied the score in the sixth off Joe Mays (8-7) with a two-out, two-run single, and Cameron came home with the go-ahead run after center fielder Jacque Jones’ throw skipped over catcher A.J. Pierzynski for an error.

Winn, who went 3-for-4, followed with his fourth home run, an opposite-field drive to left.

The AL West-leading Mariners stopped a three-game losing streak, which matched their season-high. They remained four games ahead of Oakland for the division lead.

Minnesota had won five straight following the All-Star break, but dropped to 49-50 and fell behind Chicago into third place in the AL Central, 51/2 games behind division-leading Kansas City. The Twins play host to the Royals in a two-game series beginning today.

Rafael Soriano and Shigetoshi Hasegawa pitched one scoreless inning each, with Hasegawa earning his seventh save in seven chances.

White Sox 5, Indians 2

Chicago — Bartolo Colon (7-9), who had been 0-4 in seven starts since beating the Dodgers June 7, gave up two runs and six hits in 72/3 innings. Damaso Marte finished the six-hitter for his sixth save.

Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez hit consecutive first-inning homers, with Thomas getting the 399th of his career. Carlos Lee also homered for the White Sox (50-5), who have won five straight to reach .500 for the first time since July 3.

Cleveland has lost seven straight.

Red Sox 7, Tigers 4

Boston — Derek Lowe pitched eight strong innings, and Kevin Millar and Jason Varitek hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning as Boston beat Detroit.

Lowe (11-4) gave up homers to Eric Munson and Dmitri Young, but allowed just four other hits. The sinkerballer recorded 18 outs on grounders, struck out four and walked none. Alan Embree gave up Carlos Pena’s homer in the ninth.

After the start of the game was delayed by rain for 1 hour, 20 minutes, the best-hitting team in the majors had another big offensive game. In their previous two games, the Red Sox beat Toronto, 9-4, and Detroit, 14-5.

The Tigers suffered their fifth consecutive loss and fell to 26-72, the worst record in the majors.
