Nava had two hits and drove in a pair of runs. But he lost track of the outs in the top of the fifth inning, catching Kyle Seager’s fly ball for the second out and then throwing the ball into the stands. Stefen Romero was near second base on the play and was awarded third. He neglected to return to first, though, and was called out on an appeal play. Romero had three hits for the Mariners.
