Jason Bay, Michael Morse, Michael Saunders and Carlos Peguero homered Friday and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 8-6 in Peoria, Ariz.

The Mariners lead the majors in homers this spring. They have connected for 18 in eight games.

Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus doubled and walked in his return to the lineup. He was scratched the previous day with what the team called “sensitivity in his left arm” – apparently caused by an elaborate tattoo.

Former Spokane Indians player Mitch Moreland hit a two-run homer for Texas.
