ARLINGTON, Texas — ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Marcus Semien extended MLB's longest hitting streak this season to 23 games, Jonah Heim homered and drove in five runs, and Texas' offense kept rolling Sunday in a 12-3 victory that finished a sweep of the Seattle Mariners.
Corey Seager also went deep as the Rangers won consecutive games by a combined score of 28-9 after taking the series opener 2-0.
The AL West leaders scored at least 10 runs for a major league-leading 16th time in 58 games and have won five straight series, their longest streak in five years.
Nathan Eovaldi (8-2) allowed one hit with seven strikeouts in six scoreless innings for his seventh consecutive victory.
The right-hander has a 0.68 ERA in his past seven starts, a stretch that includes a career-best streak of 29 2/3 scoreless innings and two complete games. He began the day as the only pitcher in the majors with multiple complete games.
All nine Texas hitters in the starting lineup had at least one hit as the Rangers finished with 15 a day after pounding out a season-high 19. Rookie third baseman Josh Jung had three hits.
No. 9 hitter Travis Jankowski was the last to join the group with a leadoff double in the sixth. By then, the center fielder had already made the defensive play of the game by taking a home run away from Mike Ford with a leaping catch over the wall in front of the Texas bullpen in right-center in the fifth.
Jankowski had another leaping grab at the wall in center in the eighth, although Cal Raleigh's liner appeared to be just below the yellow line near the 407-foot sign.
Just as he did in a 16-6 Texas victory Saturday, Semien extended his career-best hitting streak with a leadoff double in the first inning. He has reached base in 31 consecutive games, also a career high.
Seattle rookie Bryce Miller had walked three in his first 36 major league innings before walking two in the first ahead of Heim's two-out, two-run double with the bases loaded.
Miller (3-3) retired just one of seven batters in the third before getting replaced after Robbie Grossman's two-run double. Seager opened the five-run inning with his sixth homer.
The 24-year-old Texan gave up seven runs on eight hits in 2 1/3 innings after allowing 11 hits and eight runs to the New York Yankees in his previous start. Miller permitted just four runs with three scoreless outings in the first five starts of his big league career.
Texas had another five-run inning in the sixth, capped by Heim's seventh homer, a three-run shot off the foul pole in right for a 12-0 lead. The five RBIs tied Heim's career high.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Mariners SS J.P. Crawford and Rangers CF Leody Taveras both had the day off after getting banged up on a force play at second base late in Saturday's blowout. Crawford had to dive toward the bag to tag Taveras. Crawford has a bruised right knee but isn't expected to miss extended time. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said the club expected Taveras to be sore and planned to rest him.
