SEATTLE (AP) — Ryon Healy homered and tied a career high with five RBIs, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 6-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

Healy, who had a two-run double in the first inning, put Seattle ahead for good with his three-run homer — his 18th of the season — in the sixth inning. He entered the game in an 0-for-13 slump.

Wade LeBlanc (5-0) picked up the win despite giving up four runs and allowing three homers to the Rockies in six innings. The three homers allowed were the most by LeBlanc in an appearance this season.

Edwin Diaz struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth for his major league-leading 35th save.

Charlie Blackmon, Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story hit the homers for the Rockies, who snapped a five-game winning streak.

Blackmon gave the Rockies a 1-0 lead in the top of the first with his 17th home run. The Mariners answered in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases for Kyle Seager’s sacrifice fly and again for Healy’s double.
