CLEVELAND (AP) — Julio Rodríguez, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, hit a two-run homer as the Seattle Mariners spoiled Cleveland’s home opener by beating the Guardians 5-3. Rodríguez connected in the sixth inning for the Mariners, who were down 3-0 in their first road game. The 22-year-old Rodríguez hit 28 homers last season while helping Seattle end its 21-year playoff drought. J.P. Crawford had a pair of RBI doubles off Aaron Civale for Seattle, which dropped three of four to Cleveland at home last week. Josh Bell drove in a run for the Guardians, who couldn’t hold onto their lead in front of a sellout crowd of 34,821 fans at Progressive Field.
