PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) _ Larry Walker hit his first homer of the spring and right-hander Tsao Chin-Hui, from Taiwan, made his major league spring debut as the Colorado Rockies beat the Seattle Mariners 7-5 on Wednesday night.

The game was televised in Taiwan because Chin-Hui, 18, is considered a national hero in his island nation. Chin-Hui, 18, pitched the fifth, setting the Mariners down in order with two strikeouts.

The Rockies jumped on Jose Paniagua for four runs after Aaron Sele left with a 3-1 lead after four innings. Walker, who had 37 homers last season, homered off Paniagua in the sixth.

Colorado's Scott Servais doubled in two runs in the fifth to tie the score at 3. Mike Lansing of the Rockies had a two-run single in the seventh.

Willie Bloomquist of the Mariners doubled in two runs in the eighth.

Sele, an 18-game winner for Texas last season, made his third spring start for the Mariners and allowed one run on three hits while striking out three.

``I felt a lot better with my fastball today,'' Sele said. ``I got ahead with the fastball and used my defense... They made a couple of great plays out there.''

Shortstop Charles Gipson and second baseman David Bell made outstanding plays in the first two innings.

Mike Cameron, who was acquired in the trade with Cincinnati for Ken Griffey Jr. on Feb. 10, had his first homer of the spring off Rolando Arrojo in the second.

Notes: Alex Rodriguez of the Mariners missed his second straight game because of flu-like symptoms. ... The Rockies have been outhomered 10-2 this spring. ... Kazuhiro Sasaki, Japan's all-time saves leader, pitched in his third spring game for the Mariners. He had a perfect eighth. ... Seattle's Brian Hunter, who led the AL with 44 stolen bases last season, had his first two stolen bases of the spring. ... Julian Tavares, who pitched a scoreless ninth for the Rockies, hasn't allowed a run in eight innings this spring.
