Mariners Dismantle Mets with Explosive 12-1 Victory, Dominance on Display
The Seattle Mariners improved their season record to 63-56 after a commanding 12-1 victory over the New York Mets, who now stand at 61-57. The game, held at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, showcased the Mariners' offensive and defensive prowess as they tallied up 12 runs on 12 hits without committing a single error.
The Mariners' lineup was relentless from the start, gradually building their lead before erupting for six runs in the sixth inning. Key performances included Jorge Polanco hitting .600 with a home run and an RBI, while Caleb Raleigh impressed with a .750 batting average, driving in two runs and scoring twice himself. On the pitching side, Luis Castillo secured a win with an ERA of 1.5 across six innings pitched, striking out nine batters and maintaining a WHIP of 1.0.
The Mets struggled to find their rhythm against the Mariners' pitchers. Their lone run came in the sixth inning amidst one of their few rallies that saw them accumulate six hits over nine innings but ultimately falter due to an error that contributed to their downfall.
Defensively, Seattle was flawless. The team's fielders supported their pitchers by not allowing any unearned runs and completing one double play which kept New York's base runners at bay throughout most of the game.
