TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ Erubiel Durazo hit his fifth home run of the spring and Jay Bell had two doubles and his first homer to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Seattle Mariners 11-7 Wednesday.

Durazo's two-run homer in the third inning capped a three-run rally and gave left-hander Brian Anderson a 6-2 lead. Durazo also doubled off the 35-foot fence in center field in the fifth inning, scoring the first run in a three-run inning that included Bell's homer.

Durazo, who was troubled by a right wrist injury that required surgery last August, is hitting .385 with eight extra-base hits in his 38 at-bats. He is trying to solidify a spot as a reserve first baseman-outfielder.

Dan Wilson, Blake Barthol and Anthony Sanders homered for Seattle.

Sanders, attempting to make the team as a reserve outfielder, has three homers, tied with Edgar Martinez for the team lead.

Seattle left-hander John Halama gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 3 2-3 innings.

Luis Gonzalez and Steve Finley each had two hits and two RBIs for the Diamondbacks.

Arizona outfielder Reggie Sanders and first baseman Mark Grace were held out of the game because of minor injuries.

The Diamondbacks announced right-hander Armando Reynoso will start the home opener April 6 against St. Louis in Todd Stottlemyre's place.
