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.
