Mariners' Lone Ninth-Inning Spark Falls Short Against Mets at Citi Field

The Seattle Mariners faced off against the New York Mets at Citi Field, resulting in a 3-1 outcome favoring the home team. This game brought the Mariners to a 68-56 record, while the Mets improved to 65-58. Despite a late push by Seattle, it was not enough to overcome New York's lead.

First Inning

The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Mariners were unable to secure any hits in the first two innings, while the Mets managed two hits but failed to convert them into runs. The defensive play from both sides kept early scoring opportunities at bay.

Third Inning

In the third inning, New York broke through with their first run of the game. A combination of strategic hitting allowed them to capitalize on Seattle's pitching and take an early lead. Meanwhile, J.P. Crawford of Emerald City managed one hit during this period but couldn't advance further due to strong fielding by New York.

Seventh Inning

The seventh inning proved pivotal for the Amazins as they extended their lead with two more runs on four hits. This surge put pressure on Seattle's bullpen and highlighted what went wrong for Mariners in terms of maintaining control over critical moments in gameplay.

Ninth Inning

Seattle showed signs of life in the ninth inning when they finally got on board with a solo home run from Cal Raleigh—his consistent performance being one of few bright spots for M’s fans during this matchup. However, despite this late effort and some solid pitching throughout most innings by Bryan Woo who maintained an ERA of 1.5 across six innings pitched previously; it was too little too late as no further runs were added before closing out.
