In The Outfield -

By D. Beaver / The Facts Newspaper

Seattle’s Mariners were straight up dominant at T-Mobile Park last week, flexing on both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Angels. First up, the Cards rolled into town, but the M’s weren’t having it. Over three games, Seattle grabbed W after W. The highlight? Leo Rivas went full hero mode with a walk-off two-run dinger in the 13th inning, while Bryan Woo was nasty on the mound, striking out nine in six innings. Josh Naylor had the clutch hits too, helping the M’s pull through a 4–2 win and set the tone for the series.

Then came the Angels, and Seattle kept the heat on. Cal Raleigh was on fire, tying Mickey Mantle’s record with his 54th homer of the season, and Julio Rodríguez wasn’t playing , he racked up two doubles, two runs, and two RBIs. Jorge Polanco joined the party with three doubles. George Kirby? Straight beast mode 6⅓ innings, 14 Ks, zero walks. The M’s crushed the Angels 11–2 in the finale, marking nine straight wins and sending a clear message to the AL West: Seattle’s coming for that division crown.

With 16 games left, the Mariners are looking lethal, and the city is buzzing. First place feels good, and the playoff vibes are real.
