Athletics' Luis Severino Wins Third Straight Start Over Mariners

Luis Severino has recently found success on the mound, securing his third consecutive win with a strong five-inning performance against the Seattle Mariners, allowing just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six. Despite slipping twice at the start of the game due to poor traction on the pitching mound at Sutter Health Park, Severino adjusted and delivered one of his best games of the season, helping lead the Athletics to a 6-1 victory. Severino's recent dominance is reflected in his last four starts, where he has allowed only six earned runs and struck out 25 batters, improving his season stats to a 4.83 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. The Athletics benefited from timely hitting, including a three-run homer by Brent Rooker and strong contributions from Shea Langeliers and Miguel Andujar, while the Mariners struggled with runners in scoring position. Severino's home struggles earlier in the season have improved, as he entered the game with a 0-9 home record and a 6.68 ERA but managed to win at home for the first time this season. The Athletics are riding a hot streak with five wins in their last six games, with Severino's performance playing a key role.
