Kirby struck out eight and walked two while throwing 65 percent of his pitches for strikes and posting an 11 percent swinging strike rate. Kirby leaned heavily on his sinker against righties, throwing just three four-seamers all game, and was able to miss bats with his sweeper and changeup consistently. He did struggle to put hitters away in two-strike counts with a 14 percent PutAway Rate on the day, which is well below his 19 percent career mark. The right-hander will look to be more consistent next time out, next week against the Braves.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson said afterwards that Brash will pulled out of an abundance of caution after feeling some side discomfort. He’ll undergo imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with anything more serious. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Friday’s series opener against the Royals.

The Mariners scored three runs in the top of the ninth inning to give Muñoz a lead in the bottom half, and he did not disappoint. The 27-year-old didn’t allow a baserunner and struck out two batters en route to his sixth save of the season. He remains an elite closer option despite his inflated 6.00 ERA.

Young had a double early in the game, but then came to bat in the ninth inning with the Mariners down one and laced a two-run single into the outfield to give his team a lead they would go on to hold. The 22-year-old now has 19 RBI on the season to go along with a .286/.357/.420 slash line. Considering how weak second base is for fantasy leagues, Young has been a really solid pick-up in most league types.

It’s typically a bad sign when a pitcher departs like this. Brash threw just two pitches in the eighth inning during Wednesday’s relief outing against the Twins before departing. The hope here is that his departure was merely out of an abundance of caution given his injury history. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Arozarena also drew a walk. The 31-year-old hasn’t shown a ton of power in the beginning of the season in terms of homers, but that double was already the ninth of the season for the outfielder. He’s now slashing a commendable .297/.385/.450 over the first 31 games of the campaign. The homers should start to come, too.

Both RBI came in the ninth inning when Rodríguez cemented the blowout with his third double in the ninth to give Seattle a 7-1 lead. The 25-year-old has doubled six times in 2026, while the pair of runs driven in brings that total up to 12 across 30 games.

Naylor did caught stealing twice; his first times being caught since joining the Mariners in 25 attempts. The 28-year-old drove in the tying run with an RBI single in the sixth, and put the game away with a three-run shot two innings later. After an awful start to the season, Naylor appears to be back in a groove, and he’s been much better the last few weeks than that .220/.295/.349 slash indicates.

It’s a solid outing in terms of run-prevention, and he was able to strike out four with just one walk. Once again, however, Gilbert wasn’t able to get deep into the game, as he needed 93 pitches to get through those five frames. The 28-year-old was certainly better than his four-inning effort last week against the A’s, but the expectations for someone who can miss bats like he can are much higher than this. He’ll face Atlanta in Seattle on Monday.

Donovan hit the shelf with a relatively minor groin strain last week and could be activated for Friday’s series opener against the Royals once Seattle returns home from their current road trip. The 29-year-old infielder was off to an excellent start in his Mariners debut, hitting .304/.437/.518 with three homers, eight RBI and one steal through 18 games.

Castillo gave up seven runs for the second time this season. His velocity tonight was easily his worst of the year. He averaged 95.3 mph with his fastball last time out. Tonight, his hardest pitch of the game was 95.3 mph, and his average fastball was nearly two mph slower. He’s a fringy mixed-league option as is, but if that velocity doesn’t come back next time out against Royals, it’ll become an easy call to drop him.

Naylor is back at first base and hitting cleanup following a brief one-game absence due to a quad contusion. The 28-year-old power/speed combo threat has seemingly turned things around after an ice-cold start to the season, hitting .480 (12-for-25) with one homer and four steals over his last seven games.

Raleigh was responsible for the only run for Seattle off Michael McGreevy after he launched a solo homer off the right-hander. It’s the sixth homer of the season for Big Dumper, and it puts him on pace to swat around 33 of them. After a disastrous start, we’re starting to see Raleigh get back into the swing of things.

Refsnyder came up to hit against Jojo Romero off the bench, and he launched his second homer of the season to give Seattle the 3-2 lead and ultimately the victory. He still is hitting just .121/.211/.303 on the season, but Refsnyder has been too good against southpaws to be remotely concerned about his roster spot. He’s not going to get enough playing time against right-handers to garner roster consideration in fantasy leagues.

With Andrés Muñoz unavailable, the Mariners turned to Ferrer for the save, and he was able to retire the side in order while throwing 8-of-11 pitches for strikes. He’s done a very nice job over his first month with Seattle as seen in a 1.93 ERA, but he isn’t likely to get many more save chances with Muñoz and Matt Brash on the roster.

The only runs Hancock allowed were on solo homers by Ryan Church in the sixth and JJ Wetherholt in the third. There was a good amount of hard contact against the right-hander, but he was able to limit the damage and kept Seattle in the game. Hancock now has a 2.86 ERA on the season, and he just may be earning a permanent spot in the Seattle rotation with how well he’s pitched. He’ll face the Royals on Saturday.

Mariners’ skipper Dan Wilson told reporters before the game that the injury isn’t believed to be serious and that Naylor would be available to pinch-hit. Connor Joe will start in his place at first base and bat seventh against Cardinals’ right-hander Michael McGreevy on Sunday afternoon in St. Louis.

It just continues. Despite having some of the worst speed in baseball, Naylor has now stolen four bases, and he has yet to be caught in 23 attempts since joining the Mariners. That’s helped compensate a bit for a .208/.283/.317 slash, but it’s worth noting those numbers have improved considerably over the last week.

Young launched his third homer of the season with a solo shot off Matthew Liberatore. The 22-year-old also doubled, singled and improved his slash to .255/.342/.398. That’s a respectable enough line, but it’s even better when you consider Young is 22-years-old and already one of the best defensive infielders in baseball.

Rodríguez blistered a two-run shot off Matthew Liberatore into Big Mac land in the first inning. That’s just the second homer of the season, and the steal was his third. Rodríguez is a notoriously slow starter — as notorious as a 25-year-old can be, anyway — but the three-hit night improves his slash to .250/.336/.333 over 28 games.

Muñoz allowed a leadoff walk to Nolan Gorman, but he was able to strike out the next batter and initiated a double play to end the inning without any damage. The right-hander has now save five-of-six chances, and his ERA lowers to 6.55. That ERA is almost entirely based on a five-run scuffle against the Padres. He’s an elite closer.

Well, that was unexpected. Woo has been one of the best starters in baseball over the last two seasons, but he flat-out didn’t have it Saturday. Not only did he allow nine hits, four of those hits left the park, and he only struck out one. These things happen. Woo will get a chance to bounceback — and likely will — against the Twins next week.

Miller allowed just two baserunners while throwing 35 of 47 pitches for strikes in his second rehab outing. The 27-year-old starter is working his way back from an oblique injury that put him on the shelf back in spring training. It seems likely the Mariners will have him make one or two additional rehab starts to continue building up his stamina and workload before Miller makes his season debut in early May.

Anderson’s latest dominant performance where he allowed just one baserunner was cut short due to inclement weather after just 59 pitches (39 strikes). The 21-year-old southpaw, who was selected third overall in last year’s draft, has looked like one of the top pitching prospects in baseball during his professional debut, recording a sublime 0.48 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 30/4 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings over four starts at the Double-A level. There’s a non-zero chance he makes it to Seattle at some point later this season and he would offer enough strikeout upside to merit a roster spot in all fantasy formats.

Naylor led off the fourth inning with a walk, swiped second base and scored on a two-out RBI single by Dominic Canzone. He then tagged Cardinals’ right-hander Andre Pallante for a 418-foot (107.3 mph EV) solo shot that gave the M’s a 3-2 lead they would never relinquish. His bat has started to show signs of life the past two weeks, though he’s still slashing a miserable .198/.278/.313 with three homers, 11 RBI and two stolen bases on the young season.

Muñoz did allow a two-out single to Nathan Church that brought the go-ahead run to the plate, but he battled back to strike out Ramon Urias to end it. The 27-year-old stopper has now converted four of his first five save opportunities on the season while posting a troublesome 7.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 17/5 K/BB ratio over his first 10 innings.

Kirby struck out two batters on the night while issuing one free pass. All of the damage done against him came on a two-out, two-run single off the bat of Masyn Winn in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old hurler got 11 whiffs on 81 pitches on the night — six of them on his slider — while posting a CSW of 28 percent. He now sports a terrific 2.97 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and a 29/9 K/BB ratio over 39 1/3 innings through his first 39 1/3 innings. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he takes on the Twins in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Cummings had a 3.29 ERA in 29 appearances (20 starts) last year between Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham. He came over originally as the player to be named later in the Randy Arozarena trade. He heads back to Seattle as a 24-year-old with a 1.69 ERA in 5 1/3rd innings with Montgomery in 2026.

Legumina was designated for assignment on Tuesday and the Mariners were apparently able to find a trade partner. Tampa Bay Times’ Marc Topkin reports the Mariners are reacquiring RHP Ty Cummings from the Mariners. Legumina posted a 5.62 ERA in 48 outings for the Mariners last year and was at 4.63 in eight outings this year, but he has struck out 82 batters in 83.1 career MLB innings.
