Arozarena Leads Mariners to Key Win over Rangers

Randy Arozarena's bases-loaded single in the ninth inning secured a 5-4 victory for the Seattle Mariners over the Texas Rangers, spoiling Max Scherzer's return from the injured list. Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley contributed with home runs, while Logan Gilbert struck out seven over six innings. The win keeps the Mariners 4 1/2 games back in the AL West standings and three games behind the Twins in the AL wild-card race. Scherzer, activated after shoulder issues, pitched four innings, allowing two runs. The Mariners' closer Andrés Munoz earned the win, while José Leclerc took the loss for the Rangers.
