SEATTLE (AP) — Matt Olson hit the go-ahead homer in the ninth, Bryce Elder pitched six strong innings, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Mauricio Dubón had a two-run double and Ozzie Albies extended his hit streak to 17 games to tie the franchise record. He is tied for the league lead in hits with 47.

Dylan Lee struck out the side in the seventh, Robert Suarez (3-0) worked the eighth and Raisel Iglesias, recently activated from the injured list, got his sixth save for the league-leading Braves.

Elder had his fifth quality start in eight games. He allowed two runs on two hits, yielding a two-run homer to J.P. Crawford in the fourth. He lowered his ERA to 2.02 ERA, which ranks fourth in the National League.

Olson hit his 300th home run in Monday’s 5-4 loss, becoming the 166th player to reach the milestone. He hit his 301st in the top of the ninth, sending Andrés Muñoz’s (3-3) slider 412-feet for a solo shot to give Atlanta a 3-2 lead.

Olson, batting .308 and a 1.077 OPS, leads the NL in home runs (13) and RBIs (33). The native of Atlanta has a career 159 home runs with the Braves after spending his first six seasons with the Athletics.

George Kirby pitched seven innings for Seattle, surrendering two runs on five hits while striking out five. Three of those hits came in the fourth. Albies and Olson each singled before they scored on Dubón’s two-out double down the right field line.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is out of the starting lineup for the third straight game with a sore right side, manager Dan Wilson said Monday.

Raleigh began experiencing soreness following Friday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals and was a late scratch on Saturday.

Raleigh said there wasn’t a specific moment Friday when he felt the injury happen and that he was “playing it safe” on the recommendation of the team’s training staff. He had on MRI on Saturday and is awaiting results.

“I think he's getting himself into a good spot," Wilson said. “He's testing himself a little more today. We'll have more information once we see how he feels after he's done some work today.”

Seattle has yet to make any decisions about whether Raleigh will be put on the injured list.

“A decision will be forthcoming here within the next day or so,” Wilson said.

Wilson didn't say if Raleigh would be available off the bench against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

“That kind of decision would be made closer to game time,” Wilson said.

Raleigh, who was the runner-up for AL MVP last season after hitting 60 homers and driving in 125 runs, is hitting .186 with seven homers and 18 RBIs through 33 games. After getting off to an extremely slow start at the plate, Raleigh has started to heat up, with five of his homers coming in the past 15 games.
