SEATTLE (AP) -- Robinson Cano had three hits and an RBI, and the Seattle Mariners took advantage of Oakland's season-high four errors in a 7-2 victory over the Athletics on Saturday night.
J.A. Happ (3-1) pitched five innings for the victory, allowing one run and four hits with two walks and eight strikeouts.
Nelson Cruz and Seth Smith also each had a pair of hits and an RBI for Seattle, which scored five runs on Oakland's most errors since Aug. 22, 2012, against Minnesota. The Athletics lead the majors with 32 miscues.
 
Cano has 3 hits, A's make 4 errors in Mariners' 7-2 win
 
Jesse Hahn (1-3) gave up six runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked three and struck out four.
Mark Canha hit his fifth home run for the A's in the eighth, and Marcus Semien finished with three hits.
The Cano-Cruz combo produced one run in the first and a rare double-error by shortstop Semien sent home another.
Cruz doubled home Cano, and after Kyle Seager walked, Logan Morrison hit a sharp grounder up the middle but it caromed off Semien's glove. Semien then threw wildly to home, allowing Cruz to score.
Cruz's infield single in the fifth triggered a throwing error by third baseman Brett Lawrie that sent two more runs home.
Lloyd McClendon earned his 100th victory as the Mariners manager.
