Expect a crisp, low-scoring start before the lineups settle in. George Kirby’s elite strike-throwing buys Seattle an early edge, but Corey Seager’s hot bat equalizes quickly with a second-inning homer. Nathan Eovaldi, stung by an ugly season debut yet showing no physical concerns, dials up mid-90s velocity and a sharp splitter to hold the Mariners to two runs through five. Texas grinds out pitch counts, and once Kirby exits after six, the Rangers pounce on the middle-relief trio of Speier, Bazardo and Muñoz: Jake Burger ropes a fourth-inning RBI double, Brandon Nimmo plates another in the fifth, and a two-run eighth sparked by Evan Carter’s speed provides the cushion. Seattle’s offense remains boom-or-bust. Brendan Donovan and Cole Young continue to produce, but Julio Rodríguez’s slump and Cal Raleigh’s high-whiff approach leave traffic stranded. Arozarena sneaks an RBI knock in the first and Young tags a solo shot in the fourth, yet Eovaldi’s command and a fresh Texas bullpen (Junis, Beeks, Alexander) slam the door. Home-field advantage, the deeper lineup, and a motivated Eovaldi tilt the series finale to Texas, 5-3.

Seattle Mariners — News

Mariners extend win streak to 7 with 2nd consecutive walk-off

Seattle (32-29, +31 run diff) has won 8 of last 10 and climbed to AL West lead despite ranking last in the division 10 games ago. Logan Gilbert (3.69 ERA, 3-4) starts today against NYM, with the Mariners' pitching staff anchored by Hancock (2.80 ERA, 4-2) and Woo (3.44 ERA, 5-3).

Mariners adopt six-man rotation for 16 games in 17 days

Seattle (29-29, +25 run differential) shifts to a six-man rotation with Bryce Miller starting and Luis Castillo piggyback-pitching Sunday, managing a brutal stretch that requires depth across their full staff. Hancock (2.78 ERA, 4-2) remains their most efficient starter, while Gilbert (3.69 ERA, 5-4) and Kirby (3.77 ERA, 5-4) anchor the rotation alongside the piggyback approach.

Kurtz extends on-base streak to 47 games, chases McGwire A's record

Oakland's first baseman sits one game behind Mark McGwire's franchise record; Athletics (27-26, 5-5 L10) host Seattle tonight with Civale (3.31 ERA, 5-1) facing a Mariners rotation averaging 3.85 ERA (Kirby, Woo, Gilbert, Hancock) that's won only 4 of last 10.

Mariners Notes: Crawford, Rotation, Castillo

Crawford is batting .204/.362/.354 (107 wRC+ career) across 43 games, well below his historical average, while the Seattle rotation remains intact with Kirby (3.45 ERA, 5-3) and Woo (3.51 ERA, 4-2) leading a solid foursome. Castillo's 6.41 ERA and .366 xwOBA suggest he remains unavailable or struggling significantly.

Mariners Recall Robinson Ortiz, Reinstate Patrick Wisdom

Ortiz makes his MLB debut as Seattle's rotation remains anchored by Hancock (3.02 ERA, 0.316 xwOBA) and Kirby (3.45 ERA, 0.286 xwOBA), though the Mariners sit 22-26 with a -3 run differential despite a +6 overall RS-RA gap suggesting better offensive support ahead.

Rangers Release Ryan Brasier

Texas shed bullpen depth mid-stretch (29-31, W4 streak) likely due to a contract opt-out; the Rangers have now lost Chris Martin to injury and Josh Sborz to release within days, forcing reliance on depth arms ahead of tonight's matchup against St. Louis.

Rangers Place Chris Martin On IL With Shoulder Impingement

Texas loses bullpen depth mid-stretch while sitting 28-31 with a +7 run differential. The recall of Curvelo (no 2026 stats) and debut of Ahlstrom provide options, but neither has established MLB track record against a Cardinals lineup facing deGrom tonight.

Rangers Select Robby Ahlstrom From Triple-A

Texas needed roster space on a 28-31 club and activated the 26-year-old lefty for his MLB debut. The move follows the team's signing of Jarred Kelenic to their Triple-A affiliate, suggesting organizational depth-building rather than a rotation necessity with Gore (3.96 ERA), Eovaldi (3.93 ERA), and deGrom (3.77 ERA) all active.
