ARLINGTON, Texas — One throw that happened hours earlier set the stage for what took place in the 10th inning on Saturday.

J.P. Crawford is usually so dependable when it comes to the fundamentals of playing shortstop. But every so often his throws can get squirrelly. A little low. A little offline.

One of those throws showed up in the third inning on Saturday against the Rangers. What should have been the last out of the inning instead became an error on Crawford when he short-hopped a throw to first base and the next batter, Corey Seager, followed with a two-run homer.

That was the only damage the Rangers managed until the 10th inning when Marcus Semien’s one-out single scored the winning run and gave the Rangers a 3-2 win over the Mariners before 35,506 at Globe Life Field.

After the Mariners were unable to score in the top of the 10th inning, Andrés Muñoz was asked to work a clean bottom of the inning to try and give the offense another chance. He started strong striking out Sam Haggerty when the former Mariner was unable to get a bunt down.

But it quickly unraveled as Muñoz hit Josh Smith with a wayward slider and watched everyone advance 90 feet when another slider bounced in front of Cal Raleigh.

He walked Seager on a 3-2 pitch and Semien sent everyone home, poking a single through the drawn-in infield to score Alejandro Osuna with the winning run.

It was a deflating conclusion to a day when the M’s received terrific pitching, but the offense couldn’t match.

It also seemed fitting that the Mariners ended the first half on Friday and started the second half less than 24 hours later with extra-inning games that rode such a thin margin.

Bryan Woo threw six innings to continue his streak of consecutive starts to begin the season throwing at least six innings. The home run allowed to Seager after Crawford’s error were the only runs scored off the righty.

Dominic Canzone homered for the fifth time since being recalled to the major league roster just a few weeks ago for the M’s first run and Randy Arozarena’s two-out RBI single in the sixth inning tied the game at 1-1. Arozarena was batting just .171 with runners in scoring position and two outs entering the day.
