The match was a testament to defensive skill, as both teams exhibited exceptional pitching and fielding across all nine innings. Despite managing five hits, the Mariners struggled to leverage their scoring chances effectively. Conversely, the Rays notched up eight hits but also committed one error during play.
Critical junctures for the Mariners arose in the latter part of the game. They managed to notch up a run in both the sixth and eighth innings.

Mariners' pitcher Logan Gilbert delivered an outstanding performance from the mound, maintaining competitiveness throughout his six-inning spell before passing duties over to a bullpen that struggled to replicate his dominance over Tampa Bay's hitters. Gilbert concluded his stint with an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0, underscoring his prowess by keeping opposing batters at bay.
Offensively for Seattle, Victor Robles was particularly effective hitting .500 including reaching base on half of his attempts which injected vital energy into critical stages against Tampa Bay's pitchers who maintained an ERA of 3.0 throughout all nine innings.
