Indians rally past Mariners in 11 innings


CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera broke an 0-for-14 slump with a bases-loaded single in the 11th inning to give the Cleveland Indians a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.

Jhonny Peralta drew a one-out walk off Mark Lowe (1-2). Travis Hafner, hitting sixth to start a game for the first time in more than three years, then doubled to left and Jamey Carroll was hit by a 1-2 pitch, loading the bases.

Sean Green came on and struck out Franklin Gutierrez on three pitches, the final offering way outside. But Cabrera, batting just .190, lined an 0-1 pitch to center and was promptly mobbed by teammates.

The Mariners took a 2-1 lead in the 10th when Richie Sexson hit the first pitch from Masa Kobayashi (2-0) for his 300th career homer. Cleveland tied it in the bottom half on a bases-loaded walk to Grady Sizemore by Seattle closer J.J. Putz.
