It was a game that had everything: lead changes, clutch hits, and a whole lot of tension. But when the dust settled at Chase Field on Tuesday night, the Seattle Mariners found themselves on the wrong side of a 6-5 nail-biter against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It’s the kind of loss that stings, a game that felt within reach until the very end, leaving the M's to regroup with their record now sitting at 32-31.
Seby Zavala's clutch, game-tying home run was featured in MLB's Top 10 Home Runs of the Week.
Starter Bryan Woo gave the Mariners a fighting chance, battling through six innings with seven strikeouts. While he allowed four runs, he kept Seattle in the game against Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt. The offense did its part to keep pace, with Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez delivering key RBIs in a back-and-forth affair. Unfortunately, the bullpen couldn't slam the door, and a late lead evaporated, handing the win to Arizona and a tough loss to the M's.
Even in a loss, there are moments that shine. The brightest of the night belonged to catcher Seby Zavala, who launched a game-tying home run that was so impressive it landed on MLB's Top 10 Home Runs of the Week. It was a clutch, electrifying swing that momentarily shifted all the momentum back to the Mariners' dugout and gave fans a reason to cheer, reminding everyone of the power lurking in this lineup.
The action wasn't limited to the field. The front office made a significant move, recalling outfielder Dominic Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma. Known for his energy and versatile bat, Canzone's return could provide a much-needed spark. To make room on the roster, Leody Taveras was designated for assignment, a clear signal that the team is still fine-tuning its outfield configuration for maximum impact. In a smaller note, pitcher Casey Lawrence cleared waivers and will remain with the organization in Tacoma.
This one hurts, no doubt about it. Losing a tight one-run game on the road is a tough pill to swallow. But the season is a marathon, not a sprint. With Canzone rejoining the squad and the team still firmly in the hunt in the AL West, the focus immediately shifts to the next game. The Mariners will need to shake this one off, build on the positives like Zavala's power surge, and come out ready to even the series tomorrow.
