Andrés Muñoz hadn’t pitched in a week and it wasn’t at all clear that there would be a save chance tonight, so the Mariners used him in a tie game in the eighth. As it turned out, he picked up the win after the Mariners broke a 5-5 tie by scoring one run in the top of the ninth. Brash then got his first chance to close since elbow surgery and retired Willi Castro, Ryan Jeffers and Harrison Bader in order. Brash hasn’t allowed a run in 14 1/3 innings since coming off the IL on May 3.

Rodríguez had three strikeouts and two sacrifice flies. Baseball-Reference says it’s just the third time that’s happened since 1900; J.T. Snow did it for the Giants in 2001 and the immortal Omir Santos matched the feat in 2009. For Rodríguez, it makes seven RBI in three games. That’s not spectacular, but we’ll take it; he had totaled six RBI over his previous 26 games.

Castillo gave up five hits and two walks in a four-run fourth that could have been considerably worse if not for a double-play ball from Ryan Jeffers. He allowed just one other hit, though that was a solo homer from Kody Clemens in the third. Castillo is pretty obviously a below average starter at this point, but being propped up by T-Mobile Park, he remains a viable option in mixed leagues. He’ll probably makes his next start Sunday in Texas, but it’d be awesome if he somehow got pushed back to facing the Royals at home on Monday.

Raley hit his first homer since returning from his oblique injury Friday, and this one was clobbered to center with an estimated distance of 436 feet. The 30-year-old is expected to hit in the middle of the order against right-handers, and he’ll get a chance to drive in some pretty good players when he’s in the lineup. Just keep in mind that he’s been one of the most inconsistent hitters in the sport over the last two-plus seasons.
