Mariners End Five-Game Losing Streak

The Seattle Mariners snapped a five-game losing streak with a 10-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, thanks in large part to George Kirby's strong performance. Kirby pitched six innings, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out five, marking a significant rebound after a dismal outing where he allowed 11 runs in his previous start. The Mariners' offense came alive, scoring in four of the first five innings, with key contributions from Cal Raleigh, Victor Robles, and Josh Rojas. This win marked just the second victory in Kirby's last nine starts, improving his season record to 9-9 with a 3.40 ERA. The Pirates, who have struggled recently, suffered their 13th loss in 16 games. Seattle's manager praised the team's attitude and approach, highlighting the importance of maintaining a positive mindset amidst their challenges.
