Mariners Secure 5-1 Win, Kirby Shines

0:00On March 28th, Seattle Mariners grabbed the 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of their 4-game series at T-Mobile Park. George Kirby delivered the team's first quality start of the season, going 6 innings while striking out 6 and navigating some tight spots to keep. Things locked down. Kirby bounced back from a lead-off homer by Guardians Ricky, chased the loader, his third of the year, and third in two games. Been in the 5th, with bases loaded, he escaped when Randy Erozerina caught a shallow fly and gunned down Reese Hoskins at the plate for the third. Out. Cole-Yan sparked the offense with his first homer of the season in the 4th, pushing Seattle ahead 3-1, and he flashed some leather too. Luke Rayleigh added insurance with a two-run shot in the 6th, his second homer in his mini-games, building that cushion. The Mariners' bullpen shut the door over the final three frames, allowing just two hits, winning three, and not walking a soul. That effort sealed the victory and showed Seattle's depth as clicking.

1:02Now the Mariners eye a series split in game three tomorrow at 6.40 p.m. Pacific, with Brian Wu on the mound against Joey Cantillo, four. Cleveland should be another battle worth watching. That's the story for today. Seattle Mariners News Today, driven by AI.
