Another noteworthy performance came from Victor Robles who managed an AVG of .500 and OBP of .4 in four at-bats, demonstrating the depth within the Mariners’ batting order. These individual efforts were instrumental in building up the team's runs scored over various innings but particularly during the fifth inning when they pushed across three runs thanks to strategic hits combined with errors by the Rangers.

Pitching Precision


On the mound for Seattle was George Kirby who started strong for his team by maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 3 over six innings pitched while striking out six batters which contributed significantly to keeping Texas's scoring opportunities limited throughout his time on field.


The bullpen also held its ground effectively; Jon Chargois stood out among relievers by not allowing any runs or hits during his appearance which helped maintain Seattle’s lead late into the game.
