SEATTLE -- Justin Smoak had already done his part by hitting a go-ahead double in the eighth inning. But when Fernando Rodney struggled in the ninth, it was Smoak who made another huge play to keep Seattle from blowing the lead. Smoaks two-run double put his team ahead, and his diving catch of Adrian Beltres line drive in the ninth turned into a game-ending double play as the Mariners held on for a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday night. Smoaks double was crucial. It drove in the first runs this season for Seattle in the eighth inning and sparked a four-run rally for the Mariners. But his grab in the ninth trumped what he did at the plate. Beltres ball was hit so hard, there was no time for Smoak to think. All he could do was dive, stretch and hope. "I kind of blacked out there for a second. Just jumped and stretched as far as I could stretch and it went into the glove," Smoak said. Robinson Cano had a two-run double for the Mariners, who won consecutive games for the first time since the opening week of the season. Canos double was the only time the Mariners got to Texas starter Robbie Ross Jr., but they battered reliever Neal Cotts (1-2) in the eighth inning, scoring four times to end the Rangers win streak at three games. With no outs and the bases loaded, Smoak avoided the temptation of two inside pitches from Cotts and worked the count full. Then he lined a pitch down the left-field line and just out of the reach of Michael Choice, allowing Cano and pinch-runner Michael Saunders to score the go-ahead runs. Seattle had been outscored 18-0 in the eighth inning heading into Fridays game. The Mariners had not won two straight since their three-game sweep of the Angels to open the season. The Mariners rally started thanks to Cano, who led off the eighth with a single on the first pitch. Corey Hart worked a full count before being hit on the knee by Cotts pitch -- the fourth Seattle batter to be hit by a pitch -- and Stefan Romero loaded the bases with a bunt single. Thats when Smoak came through with his fifth double. Kyle Seager added an RBI single and Smoak scored on a wild pitch from Alexi Ogando for a 6-3 lead. The Mariners ended up needing all those runs because although Rodney got his fourth save, he made it uncomfortable in the ninth. He loaded the bases with one out and wasnt helped when Smoak couldnt handle the relay from Cano on a possible double play early in the inning. Rodney then walked Choice and Elvis Andrus to force in runs and make it 6-5. Beltre hit a liner that appeared headed for the outfield. Smoak snared it and doubled Andrus off first to end the game. "Thats Fernando. Sometimes hes going to have you on the top step. In the end he gets it done," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "Probably not all his doing. We could have made it a lot easier for him if we turned the double play." Seattle relievers Dominic Leone and Yoervis Medina (1-1) bridged the late innings after starter Roenis Elias lasted 5 2-3 innings. Leones wild pitch that allowed Prince Fielder to score with two outs in the sixth was the difference until the late rally. Ross threw six innings, giving up six hits and two runs. He has gone 84 batters without issuing a walk. His lone trouble came when he hit Abraham Almonte with a pitch with two outs and then gave up a single to Willie Bloomquist. Cano followed by lining a double off the wall in left-centre, scoring both runners. It was his fourth double of the season and fifth extra-base hit. "Its frustrating because you want to get the guys before you have to face him," Ross said. NOTES: Texas C J.P. Arencibia snapped an 0-for-19 skid with a double leading off the third.

Belfort was originally schedule to fight Chris Weidman at UFC 173 on May 24, but a Nevada State Athletic Commission ban on testosterone replacement therapy forced the former light heavyweight champ to withdraw.Daniel Winnik is expected to return to the lineup when the Toronto Maple Leafs look to extend their winning streak to three games against the streaking Boston Bruins tonight. Winnik has missed two games after hitting his head on the ice in a game against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. Jonathan Bernier will get the start in goal. The Leafs are coming off Sundays 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators in a game that was originally scheduled for Oct. 22 but postponed due to the tragic shootings at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill. The win gave Toronto a second straight victory and points in six of its last seven (5-1-1). Mike Santorelli netted a go-ahead short-handed tally in the second period as part of three unanswered goals for the Maple Leafs, while Peter Holland finished with a goal and an assist. James van Riemsdyk, Josh Leivo and David Clarkson added goals to support 37 saves by James Reimer. We kind of started off a bit slow, said Santorelli. We kept climbing our way back and stuck with it. Toronto was coming off a home win over the New York Rangers the previous night and is likely to go back to Jonathan Bernier in net tonight even though he is only 1-3-0 with a 4.46 GAA and .876 save percentage in five games against the Bruins. Bernier made 21 saves before getting pulled in the third period of a 4-1 loss at home to the Bruins on Oct. 25. The Bruins aim to extend their winning streak to six straight games as they begin a stretch of back-to-back contests against division rivals. The Bruins kept their longest win streak of the season intact with Mondays 4-2 triumph over the New Jersey Devils, a contest highlighted by a spectacular game-winning goal by Seth Griffith. Griffith put the Bruins up 3-2 with 1:59 to play in the second period as he blocked a shot and raced up the ice into the New Jersey zone. The forward lost the puck as he tried to battle through a pair of Devils defenders and managed to backhand a shot through his own legs and in with his back to the net. It was big because we were definitely under pressure for maybe four, five minutes in a row, said Reilly Smith, who sscored 1:20 after Griffith and also had an assist.dddddddddddd Griffith kind of changed that whole thing at the end of the period, which is nice because we werent playing great hockey right there and that kind of changed the momentum at least. Patrice Bergeron finished with a goal and two assists, while Carl Soderberg also scored. Tuukka Rask made 26 saves. The win finished off a perfect four-game homestand and has the Bruins in position to win six in a row for the first time since a 12-game run from March 2-22 of last season. Boston also saw the return of defenseman Torey Krug, who had been out since suffering a broken finger against Minnesota on Oct. 28. However, forward David Krejci did not play for the third time in four games because of a lower-body injury and was not expected to travel with the Bruins for tonights game or Wednesdays contest in Montreal. With Boston set to play on back-to-back nights against Atlantic Division rivals, it is unknown if Rask will start tonight or if rookie backup Niklas Svedberg will get the call. Rask is 10-2-0 with a 1.59 goals against average and .945 save percentage in 14 career games versus the Leafs, including 12 starts, while Svedberg has never faced them. He is 2-2-0 with a 1.66 GAA and .940 save percentage overall this season. Dougie Hamilton had a goal and two assists, while Krejci, Soderberg and Gregory Campbell scored. Rask made 32 saves in the Bruins 12th victory in their last 15 versus the Maple Leafs and seventh in the last 10 trips to Toronto.
