The Rockies look like a lost team right now, one struggling to score runs and not capable of overcoming poor outings by their starters.

Kind of like the Mariners on this road trip, right up until they stepped into Coors Field. They turned in another strong effort Saturday in their 10-3 win. Jason Vargas wasn’t quite as sharp as Kevin Millwood, but he was plenty good enough, and was one pitch away from getting out of the seventh unscathed. The Rockies wound up scoring three that inning — the only inning out of 18 in the first two games in which they’ve scored.

There was a lot to like for the Mariners in this one — strong starting pitching by Jason Vargas, and a 14-hit attack led by Kyle Seager and Jesus Montero with three each. Seager had a two-run homer and drove in three. The Mariners were 6-for-10 with runners in scoring position, a dramatic reversal of a troubling trend.

MARINERS NINTH: They go down in order, and it will be Steve Delabar on the mound to finish it off. 10-3 Mariners.

ROCKIES SEVENTH: Vargas was one strike away from getting away unscathed from a one-out Jason Giambi double, but Jordan Pacheco singled to left for the first Rockies run in 16 innings this series. Wilin Rosario followed with a two-run homer, and it’s 9-3.

MARINERS SIXTH: The M’s blew it open with four runs, highlighted by a two-run double by Dustin Ackley, followed directly by Casper Wells’s two-run single. 9-0 Mariners.

ROCKIES FIFTH: It’s an official game now, which could be meaningful given iffy weather forecast. Vargas has brilliant one-hit shutout going. Incredible starting pitcher by Mariners in this series. 5-0 Mariners.

MARINERS FOURTH: M’s have offense rolling today. Brendan Ryan gets a one-out triple and scores on Jason Vargas’s single over the drawn-in infield. 5-0 Mariners.

MARINERS THIRD: Mariners add two more runs, all after the first two hitters struck out. Wells worked a 3-2 walk, Ichiro reached on an infield single, Montero lashed a liner into center for one run, and Seager singled in another. That’s three RBIs today for Seager. 4-0 Mariners.

ROCKIES SECOND: Vargas issues leadoff walk to his former Long Beach State teammate Troy Tulowitzki but gets three fly outs. 2-0 Mariners.

MARINERS SECOND: Kyle Seager, who has emerged as the Mariners most productive offensive player, blasted a two-run homer to right after Montero worked a walk on a 3-2 pitch. That’s five homers and 25 RBIs for Seager. 2-0 Mariners.

ROCKIES FIRST: Vargas gets the Rockies 1-2-3 without a ball leaving the infield. He’s coming off a game in Boston in which he gave up five runs in six innings. 0-0.

MARINERS FIRST: Rookie Christian Friedrich, making his third career start, gets the Mariners in order. He was Colorado’s first-round pick in 2008 out of Eastern Kentucky University and is 1-0 with a 1.38 in his first two starts, with 17 strikeouts in 13 innings.
