The Seattle Mariners defeated the Texas Rangers 4-3 Thursday, securing the series win behind dominant pitching performances from both starting pitchers. Jacob deGrom retired his first 15 batters and struck out 12, his highest strikeout total since 2022, according to ESPN. Logan Gilbert struck out 11 over seven innings of work for the Mariners, per Sportsnet.
The decisive blow came in the seventh inning when Julio Rodríguez hit a three-run homer, with ESPN reporting it came off Rangers reliever Jakob Junis. The blast capped a four-run inning that lifted Seattle to victory. Andres Munoz closed out the game by getting Jake Burger to ground into a force out, per a Reddit highlight post.
While most outlets focused on the performances of deGrom and Gilbert, reports diverge slightly on certain details. ESPN and Sportsnet both confirm the final score and describe the seventh-inning outburst, though they emphasize different aspects of the Mariners' comeback.
