Mariners Win Rubber Match, Hand Braves First Series Loss of Season

The result ends Atlanta's season-opening series streak, a boost for a Mariners staff seeking stability.

Overview

  • Seattle's 3-1 win Wednesday at T-Mobile Park clinched the series and marked Atlanta's first series loss after a 10-0-1 start.
  • Bryan Woo rebounded from two rough outings with six scoreless innings, one hit allowed, two walks, and nine strikeouts on a season-high 98 pitches.
  • Julio Rodríguez crushed a 436-foot solo homer in the sixth and Cole Young later doubled home an insurance run.
  • A Seattle replay challenge in the eighth turned pinch-runner Jorge Mateo's safe call into a pickoff, stopping an Atlanta rally after a sacrifice fly.
  • With Andrés Muñoz down after two straight nights, José A. Ferrer worked a clean ninth for save No. 2, while roster notes included Gabe Speier to the 15-day IL, Cal Raleigh's return as DH, and Braves rookie Jim Jarvis debuting 0-for-2.
