GAME LOG
SEATTLE (AP) -- Stan Spencer came within one out of his first major league complete game and Ryan Klesko hit a two-run homer to lead the San Diego Padres over the Seattle Mariners 7-4 Saturday night. Spencer (2-1), making his fifth start since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 12, allowed a two-run homer to Mike Cameron in the sixth, but both runs were unearned because shortstop Damian Jackson's throwing error that pulled Klesko off first base. Edgar Martinez (17th) and Jay Buhner (12th) hit solo homers in the ninth. After Brian Boehringer walked David Bell, Trevor Hoffman got the final out for his 13th save in 14 chances. Bret Boone put San Diego ahead with an RBI single in the fourth off John Halama (6-1) and Klesko made it 3-0 in the sixth with his 10th homer, a 410-foot shot to right following Phil Nevin's single. It was Klesko's first this year off a left-hander. San Diego broke open the game with four runs in the seventh. Rob Ramsay relieved with two on and later walked Klesko with the bases loaded. Boone then hit a sacrifice fly off Kevin Hodges, Carlos Hernandez drove in a run with an infield single and Hodges walked Jackson with the bases loaded. Spencer, who allowed a franchise-record 10 stolen bases to Florida on May 18, allowed two to the Mariners. He struck out four and walked none. Halama, bidding to become the first Mariners starter to start 7-0, gave up five runs and nine hits in six-plus innings. Jose Mesa pitched a scoreless ninth in his first appearance since giving up seven hits in Tampa Bay's 11-run eighth inning last Sunday.
