Diamondbacks' Lone Run Not Enough in Seattle; Mariners Prevail

In a contest that saw the Arizona Diamondbacks fall to the Seattle Mariners with a final score of 3-1, both teams demonstrated defensive prowess at T-Mobile Park. The Diamondbacks now stand at 12-16 for the season, while the Mariners improved their record to 15-12.

The game was characterized by strong pitching from both sides and minimal offensive output. The Diamondbacks managed only three hits throughout nine innings and scored their sole run in the eighth inning. Despite a clean fielding performance with no errors, Arizona's bats were quiet against Seattle's pitching staff.


Arizona's starting pitcher put forth a commendable effort on the mound, delivering six innings of work with an earned run average (ERA) of 1.5 and striking out eight batters. However, it was Slade Cecconi who took the loss for his team after allowing two runs during his time in relief.

Offensively, Arizona struggled to find their rhythm against George Kirby of the Mariners who secured his third win of the season. The Diamondbacks' hitters faced difficulty making contact as evidenced by their .100 batting average and fourteen strikeouts over thirty at-bats.


The bullpen for Arizona showed signs of strain as well, posting an ERA of 9.0 across two innings pitched and conceding two runs which ultimately sealed their fate in this low-scoring affair.
