ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randy Arozarena and Jorge Polanco hit two-run home runs and the Seattle Mariners scored five times in the first inning on their way to a 10-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. After getting shut out for the ninth time this season, Seattle started the game with five straight hits and all five batters came around to score. Arozarena’s 390-foot drive to left field off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas (8-11) in the second inning pushed the lead to seven. It was the first career home run at Busch Stadium — and first against the Cardinals —for the outfielder who started his career with St. Louis. Polanco added a 419-foot shot to center in the fifth for a 9-2 lead.
