Arizona DiamondbacksvsSeattle Mariners
ARI 1/SEA 5
Things to say
Seattle beat Arizona 5-1 at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Mariners took care of business at home, 5-1 over the D-backs. Felt over by the middle innings. Seattle's pitching just had Arizona's bats tied up all night.
02
key player
Whoever Seattle ran out there got into his stuff early — Arizona managed one run total, that tells you everything.
03
hot take
Arizona's a game over .500 but they look soft on the road. That lineup goes quiet the second they leave the desert.
04
deep cut
T-Mobile Park plays huge at night and the marine layer was doing work — nothing was leaving the yard for the D-backs.
05
exit
Anyway, Mariners back to .500 territory in the AL West — curious if they can stack a couple more before the road trip.
The recap
Mariners took care of business at home, knocking off the Diamondbacks 5-1 at T-Mobile. Seattle's bats did just enough early and the pitching staff absolutely got into their stuff, holding Arizona to a single run all night.
No real drama once Seattle pulled ahead — the bullpen slammed the door and the heart of the order never let the D-backs sniff a rally. Quiet, clean win that pulls the M's back to a game under .500.
