Bryan Woo took a perfect game into the seventh inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting San Diego Padres 5-2 on Wednesday night.

The Mariners (74-72) won for the fifth time in seven games to pull within 3 1/2 games of division-leading Houston in the American League West.

Fernando Tatis Jr. homered for the Padres (82-65), who lost for the fourth time in their past six games and dropped a half-game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks atop the National League's wild-card standings.

Woo's perfect game, no-hitter and shutout were spoiled when Tatis lined a 1-0 fastball just inside the left field foul pole with one out in the seventh.

Jurickson Profar followed with a double into the right field corner. Woo struck out Manny Machado but was pulled after issuing a two-out walk to Jake Cronenworth. Xander Bogaerts greeted reliever Troy Taylor with a run-scoring single up the middle before Taylor struck out Jackson Merrill to get out of the jam.

Mariners closer Andres Munoz retired the side in order in the ninth for his 20th save of the season.

Woo (8-2) was charged with two runs on two hits in 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander walked one and struck out five.

Padres starter Michael King (12-9) went five innings and gave up three runs -- one earned -- on four hits. The right-hander walked two and struck out six.

The Mariners opened the scoring with three runs in the third inning. With one out, Josh Rojas drew a walk and Victor Robles was hit by a pitch. Julio Rodriguez hit a potential inning-ending, double-play grounder to shortstop Bogaerts, but his throw to second baseman Cronenworth was dropped to load the bases for Cal Raleigh, who hit a run-scoring single to right. Luke Raley lined a two-out, two-run single to right to make it 3-0.

The Mariners added a pair of runs in the sixth off reliever Adrian Morejon. Raley and Justin Turner led off the bottom of the inning with walks and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. With one out, J.P. Crawford roped a two-run double into the right field corner to extend the lead to 5-0.
