SEATTLE (AP) – Jose Vidro homered in his first two at-bats, and Ichiro Suzuki had four hits for Seattle, which scored a season high in runs.
Suzuki led off with his 21st career home run and one out later Vidro connected for a solo shot, quickly erasing a 2-0 deficit. Vidro added a three-run homer in the second inning.
It was the 26th career four-hit game for Suzuki, who snapped an 0-for-13 slump on Saturday.
The top three hitters in Seattle’s order – Suzuki, Adrian Beltre and Vidro – were 9-for-14 with 10 RBIs and nine runs scored.
Horacio Ramirez (1-0) allowed a run in six innings for the win. Texas starter Brandon McCarthy (1-2) lasted two innings, giving up six runs and six hits.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Marco Scutaro hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning off Mariano Rivera to give Oakland its first series victory of the season.
Scutaro’s shot spoiled a strong start by Andy Pettitte, who allowed five hits and two runs – one earned – in seven innings.
Rivera (1-1) blew his first save chance of the season, despite retiring the first two batters in the ninth. Todd Walker singled for Oakland’s first hit since the third inning and Jason Kendall then walked, bringing up Scutaro.
Oakland right-hander Rich Harden struck out seven through six innings, then left with tightness in his pitching shoulder. Jay Marshall (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings for his first major league win.
