	ARLINGTON, Texas (UPI) -- Scott Bradley's bases-loaded single
highlighted a five-run Seattle fourth inning Thursday night and helped
bring the Mariners from behind to an 8-3 victory over the Texas Rangers.
	The decision broke a four-game Texas winning streak, its longest in
two months.
	Seattle did not have a hit off starter Jamie Moyer through three
innings, then drove Moyer, 4-8, from the mound by putting seven runners
on in the fourth.
	Rookie Randy Johnson, 7-8, allowed three runs in the first two
innings and then gave up just three hits the rest of the way in throwing
his third shutout. It was a rare show of offensive support for Johnson,
who has had a total of 13 runs scored for him in his eight losses.
	Johnson allowed seven hits overall, struck out 10 and walked two in
eight innings. Mike Schooler worked the ninth for Seattle.
	Doubles by Jeff Kunkel and Pete Incaviglia, followed by a Ruben
Sierra single, gave Texas a 2-0 lead in the first. Chad Krueter made it
3-0 in the second with his fourth home run.
	Harold Reynolds opened Seattle's five-run fourth with a single and
scored on a double by Henry Cotto, who advanced to third on a fly out by
Alvin Davis and scored on Jeffrey Leonard's sacrifice fly.
	Seattle then loaded the bases on a single by Darnell Coles, a walk
to Ken Griffey and Edgar Martinez' infield hit. Bradley followed with a
single that scored Coles and Griffey with Martinez scoring when center
fielder Juan Gonzalez overran the ball for an error.
	Seattle made it 6-3 in the fifth on singles by Reynolds and Cotto
with Reynolds scoring on a double play grounder from Davis.
	The Mariners added two in the sixth, loading the bases on singles
by Coles and Martinez and a walk to Bradley. Mario Diaz then singled to
score Coles and Martinez.
