Cal Raleigh made Major League history by hitting his 49th home run, surpassing Salvador Perez's record for catchers in a single season. The Mariners dominated the Athletics 11-4, with Logan Gilbert achieving a career-high 13 strikeouts. Victor Robles returned from injury and contributed with a 2-run single, while Dylan Moore was placed on waivers to accommodate him. The Mariners remain in contention, sitting two games behind the Houston Astros in the division. Conversely, the Seahawks concluded their preseason with a 20-7 defeat against the Packers, where rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe lost three fumbles.

Seattle will need to finalize their roster ahead of the NFL cutdown deadline. The Storm celebrated two significant wins, highlighted by a buzzer-beater from Nneka Ogwumike against the Mystics. They next face the Indiana Fever, who are missing star point guard Caitlin Clark.
