In front of a crowd of 26,452 at T-Mobile Park, the Mariners displayed resilience and strategic acumen to secure their victory. The game remained scoreless through six innings as both teams' pitchers dominated early on. The Braves managed to break through in the seventh inning with two hits that translated into one run. However, this lead was short-lived as the Mariners responded emphatically in the bottom of the ninth.
The Mariners' offense had been stifled for most of the game by an effective Braves pitching staff that limited them to just four hits and maintained an earned run average (ERA) of 1.0 throughout nine innings pitched.

Collectively, they struck out fourteen batters while maintaining a whip (walks plus hits per inning pitched) ratio of just .4444.
A pivotal moment came when Seattle capitalized on their four at-bats with runners in scoring position by delivering one hit that brought home two runs – showcasing clutch performance under pressure. This late rally underscored their tenacity and ability to perform when it counts most.
Defensively, both teams were flawless with no errors committed throughout nine innings – testament to high-caliber fielding from each side. The Mariners' defense turned one double play while assisting ten times overall contributing towards maintaining their perfect fielding percentage (FPCT).
