Seattle, WA -- (Sports Network) - Jose Lopez hit a two-run double in the eighth inning, as the Seattle Mariners came back to defeat the San Diego Padres, 3-2, in the finale of a three-game set at Safeco Field.

Lopez knocked in all three runs, while Ichiro Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a run scored and two stolen bases. He passed Julio Cruz into first on the all-time Mariners stolen base list with 291. Seattle took two of three in the series and has won three of its last four.

Felix Hernandez pitched six solid frames, allowing two runs on seven hits, while striking out five and walking one. Arthur Rhodes (2-0) pitched one-third of an inning to earn the victory. J.J. Putz picked up his fifth save of the season.

Adrian Gonzalez accounted for the San Diego offense with a two-run homer. Brian Giles finished with three hits and a run scored for the Padres, who have lost five of their last seven.

Shawn Estes got the starting nod for the Padres and allowed one run on two hits over 6 1/3 innings.

Heath Bell (0-3) took the loss, giving up two runs on three hits in 1 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.

With the Padres clinging to a 2-1 lead through 7 1/2 innings, Bell struck out Wladimir Balentien leading off the eighth, but pinch-hitter Jose Vidro and Yuniesky Betancourt singled and Suzuki walked to load the bases. After Bell fanned Adrian Beltre, Lopez lined the first pitch of the at-bat down the right field line, scoring two and putting the Mariners ahead 3-2.

"I tried to hit it to right field," Lopez said of the game-winning double. Bell throws hard and I tried a slow swing, and get a good pitch to hit. I feel great, I got a line drive with two RBIs to take the lead in the eighth inning.

Putz came on for the ninth and retired the Padres in order to end the game.

Seattle got on the board early, manufacturing a run in the first inning. Suzuki led off with a single and stole second and third. Lopez then grounded out to second base to plate Suzuki.

Gonzalez gave the Padres a 2-1 lead in the fourth when he homered to right, scoring Giles, who led off with a double.
