The Mariners improved to 10 games over .500, their best mark since May 25, and moved to one game back of the Orioles for the second American League Wild Card spot. Since a six-game skid ended on June 24, Seattle has compiled the best record in the AL West, going 30-19.
Hernandez delivered his fourth consecutive quality start, allowing two runs on seven hits and striking out eight. Steve Cishek took over for him in the ninth and retired the side in order in his first appearance since coming off the 15-day disabled list with a left hip labrum tear.
Brewers starter Wily Peralta was chased in the seventh inning when he gave up back-to-back home runs before recording an out. He allowed four runs in all and eight hits to get his ninth loss.
The Brewers extended their season-high losing streak to six games.
