Rowdy Tellez hit a grand slam in a five-run 12th inning and the visiting Seattle Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 8-4 Saturday afternoon.
It was the second homer of the series and the fifth career grand slam for Tellez, a former Blue Jay. Randy Arozarena had an RBI single prior to Tellez's blast.
Ben Williamson had his first career homer, a solo shot, and a double for the Mariners who evened the three-game series.
Andres Gimenez and Ernie Clement each had three hits for the Blue Jays.
Toronto attacked right-hander Logan Gilbert early. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. slashed a double to right with one out in the first and scored when Anthony Santander grounded a single to right.
Berrios left two Mariners stranded in the fourth. When the half inning ended Berrios had words with Cal Raleigh, who led off with an infield single. The dugouts emptied briefly and the umpires warned both teams.
Seattle took the lead in the fifth. Williamson led off with a double to left that glanced off the glove of a diving Alan Roden. J.P. Crawford walked. Miles Mastrobuoni sacrificed to put both runners in scoring position and Raleigh scored them with a two-out double to the right field corner that bit the line.
The Blue Jays tied the game in their fifth. Gimenez singled, stole second and scored on Alejandro Kirk's two-out single to left. Collin Snider replaced Gilbert, who allowed two runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out nine in 4 2/3 innings.
Toronto regained the lead against Snider in the sixth. Clement grounded an infield hit to second, Myles Straw sacrificed him to second and Bo Bichette blooped an RBI single to right.
Williamson smashed a 2-1 sinker for a homer to left to tie the game in the seventh. Brendon Little replaced Berrios, who allowed three runs, four hits and four walks with three strikeouts in his six-plus innings.
Seattle's Andres Munoz (1-0) allowed only an intentional walk in the 11th.
Automatic runner Crawford took third on Julio Rodriguez's fly out against Jacob Barnes (0-1). Leo Rivas and Raleigh walked. Arozarena hit the RBI single and Tellez cleared the bases with a two-out blast to right.
Casey Lawrence allowed a run on George Springer's groundout in the bottom of the 12th.
