The big story here is pitcher Brian Wu. He went eight innings, which is his longest outing this year, and he absolutely dominated, striking out nine batters. He only gave up one hit and two walks the entire game. The offense did just enough to get him the win. In the fourth inning, the Mariners put together a string of singles. Cal Raleigh and JP Crawford both drove and runs with back-to-back hits. That was all the scoring they needed. Wu was really in control from the start, retiring the first nine batters he faced.

But their bullpen did show some fight. They managed to strike out seven Mariners in a row at one point. And for the Mariners, their closer Andrés Muñoz shut the door in the ninth for his 25th
