In the first inning, the Mariners set the tone for the game by scoring three runs on two hits. This early lead was further bolstered in the third inning when they added another two runs from just one hit. A particularly impressive performance came in the sixth and seventh innings where Seattle combined for four hits and four more runs, effectively putting the game out of reach for Cincinnati.


The Mariners' hitting statistics were notable with an overall batting average of .313 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .41. Their slugging percentage (SLG) stood at an impressive .656, contributing to an overall on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.066. Extra-base hits played a significant role in their offensive output as they tallied six in total: three doubles, one triple, and two home runs.


Seattle's pitchers also had a commendable day on the mound. The starting pitcher earned his second win of the season while maintaining a solid earned run average (ERA) of 3.0 across six innings pitched. The bullpen held its own as well with three innings pitched, allowing only one run and striking out four batters.


Defensively, Seattle was flawless with no errors recorded during the game and maintaining a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 across all positions.


The upcoming game promises another exciting matchup as T-Mobile Park will once again be filled with fans eager to see if their team can continue this winning momentum against Cincinnati Reds.
