The bullpen saw some success with Huascar Brazoban and Daniel Young both maintaining an ERA of 0.0 through their appearances. Reed Garrett also contributed significantly from the bullpen with a striking nine strikeouts per nine innings rate (K9), showcasing his ability to challenge Seattle's hitters effectively.
