Julio Rodriguez had a double, a home run and four RBIs, Cal Raleigh hit his league-leading 32nd home run, and the Seattle Mariners pulled away for an 11-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night in Minneapolis.

Luke Raley added a three-run homer for Seattle, which won the series opener and improved to 3-1 on its road trip. Dominic Canzone added a solo shot.

Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach each hit a solo home run for the Twins. Minnesota lost for the 10th time in 11 games.

Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (7-4) allowed two runs on six hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out nine as he earned his 20th career victory.

Twins right-hander Bailey Ober (4-5) gave up seven runs on seven hits, including three of the home runs, in seven innings. He walked none and struck out seven.

Mariners relievers Eduard Bazardo and Zach Pop combined for three scoreless innings to seal the win.

Seattle pounced on Ober for six runs in the top of the third.

J.P. Crawford started the scoring with a sacrifice fly to center field to drive in Ben Williamson. Rodriguez followed in the next at-bat with a 442-foot, two-run home run to left-center to make it 3-0.

Four batters later, Raley capped the big inning with a 436-foot, three-run blast to center. It marked his third homer of the season and his first since April 17 against the Cincinnati Reds.

The Mariners increased their lead to 7-0 on Canzone’s solo homer in the sixth. He pulled a curveball over the wall in right-center field.

Larnach and Correa led off the bottom of the sixth with back-to-back blasts. The sequence marked Larnach’s 11th homer and Correa’s sixth.

Rodriguez made it 9-2 with a two-run double to left-center in the ninth. Raleigh stepped to the plate in the next at-bat and hit a towering, two-run shot over the wall in left to finish the scoring.
