Seattle 5, Arizona 4 (8 innings)

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) -- Adrian Beltre spent the World Baseball Classic hitting home runs for the Dominican Republic. Now he's ready to do the same for Seattle.

The third baseman hit a solo shot Tuesday in his first at-bat for the Mariners this month, and fellow regulars Raul Ibanez and Richie Sexson also connected in a 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Umpires stopped the game in the top of the eighth inning because of rain.

The home runs overcame a sluggish start from newly acquired Jarrod Washburn. He allowed six hits and three runs in five innings through the wind and rain. Washburn gave up Luis Gonzalez's two-run homer in the first and Jerry Gil's solo homer in the fifth.

The Diamondbacks also got a home run from Carlos Quentin in the seventh off Luis E. Gonzalez.

"The wind was really a factor, and only Beltre and Sexson were legitimate," Seattle manager Mike Hargrove said. "It was a day to keep the ball on the ground."

Beltre hit four home runs during the WBC. He has changed his batting stance slightly, standing with his hips and shoulder more closed toward home plate. His stance was directed more at the pitcher last season, when he slumped from a .334 average with 48 home runs in 2004 as a Los Angeles Dodger to .255 with 19 home runs as a Mariner.

Ibanez's home run was his team-leading fourth of the spring. He signed an $11 million, two-year extension two weeks ago. Sexson is batting .520 with three home runs in 12 spring games.
