SEATTLE -- In a ballpark known to keep hitters at bay, the St. Louis Cardinals flexed their power at Safeco Field on Sunday.
Matt Carpenter and Tommy Pham each homered twice as the Cardinals went deep six times in an 11-6 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
"Nice to see the power show up" Cardinals Manager Mike Matheny said. "This was a story about the offense, and we were hoping we would see it, happy we did."
Jedd Gyorko and Matt Holliday also homered for St. Louis, which tied a season-high with six home runs. Carpenter, Holliday, and Aledmys Diaz each had three hits as the Cardinals finished with 17 -- including 13 for extra bases.
Gyorko and Pham led off the seventh with back-to-back home runs against reliever Nick Vincent (1-7) to break a 6-6 tie. Holliday extended St. Louis' lead to 9-6 with a solo shot in the eighth against Edwin Diaz. Pham and Carpenter each hit their second home runs, with nobody on, in the ninth.
Kevin Siegrist (5-2) allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 11/3 inning to get the victory.
