Eugenio Suarez's three-run homer helped the Mariners defeat the Padres 4-3, showcasing his crucial role in the game. Luke Raley contributed with a double in the second inning, scoring Suarez and marking the first run of the match. Bryan Woo secured his 12th win of the season after allowing two runs in five and two-thirds innings, ending a remarkable streak of 25 consecutive starts of six innings or more—an MLB record for the start of a season. The Mariners will enjoy a day off before embarking on their penultimate road trip against the Cleveland Guardians. In a strategic move to bolster their bullpen, Seattle called up Emerson Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma, marking his first relief appearance after being a starting pitcher since his 2020 draft.

The 26-year-old recorded an average fastball of 97 mph during his last two outings, peaking at 99 mph. This victory keeps the Mariners competitive as they aim for the postseason. The Mariners' next challenge will be critical as they approach the final stretch of the season.
