SEATTLE (AP) -- Jesus Montero and Casper Wells hit long first-inning homers off Tim Lincecum and the Seattle Mariners rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-4 on Saturday night.

Franklin Gutierrez's infield single in the sixth put Seattle ahead to stay as the Mariners snapped a six-game losing streak.

Lincecum (2-8) was the focal point of the evening thanks to his career-worst five-game losing streak and his first start in Seattle, where he was a prep star and national collegiate player of the year at Washington. Instead it became another night of frustration for the two-time Cy Young Award winner, who was unable to hold a 4-2 lead and was done just one batter into the sixth inning.
