Alex Colome pitched a perfect ninth to earn a save in his first day as a Mariner and Seattle completed a three game sweep of the Minnesota Twins 3-1 Sunday.

Colome arrived in Seattle on Saturday night, a day after the Mariners got him and outfielder Denard Span in a trade with Tampa Bay.

Ryon Healy doubled home two runs in the eighth inning, then Colome made his Seattle debut with a three-up, three-down ninth.

Mike Leake (5-3) allowed only one run in eight innings for the win. He outpitched Jose Berrios (5-5), who gave up two runs in 7 1/3 innings.

Healy’s tiebreaking, two-run double came off Addison Reed, the Twins’ fourth pitcher of the inning.

The Twins took a 1-0 lead in the second when Eddie Rosario singled and scored on a double by Eduardo Escobar.
