Mariners vs Rangers

In a thrilling game at T-Mobile Park, the Seattle Mariners staged a comeback to defeat the Texas Rangers 5-4, highlighted by Julio Rodríguez's three-run home run in the eighth inning. After trailing 4-0, Rodríguez's performance, which included four hits and three RBIs, was pivotal in the Mariners' rally. Jacob deGrom made his return to the mound for the Rangers after Tommy John surgery, striking out four over 3 2/3 innings, but did not factor into the decision. The Rangers had established a 4-0 lead early, capitalizing on errors and scoring opportunities, including Nathaniel Lowe's contributions with a homer and an infield single. Despite the loss, the Mariners remain in contention for a postseason berth, now 4.5 games behind the AL West-leading Astros. The Rangers' bullpen faltered late in the game, marking only their fifth loss in 2024 when leading after seven innings.
