SEATTLE (AP) — Dylan Moore hit a grand slam in the eighth inning to lift the Seattle Mariners to an 11-8 comeback win against the Houston Astros.

Houston scored six runs in the first and led 7-0 in the fourth before Seattle started to rally. 

The seven-run deficit is the most the Mariners have overcome this season, and the largest cushion the AL West-leading Astros have lost. 

In the eighth, the Mariners loaded the bases with two outs down 8-7. 

Moore launched reliever Brooks Raley's 1-1 pitch into the left field second deck for his fourth homer to complete the comeback. 

After giving up Moore's slam, Raley hit J.P. Crawford in the back with a 3-1 pitch and was ejected.
