Mariners vs Twins Recap: Seattle erupts to win 7-1

On Tuesday night at Minnesota, the Seattle Mariners got revenge against the Twins after losing badly the night before. Just yesterday, the Twins had demolished Seattle eleven to four, but tonight the Mariners came ready to compete. Logan Gilbert took the mound for Seattle, facing Joe Ryan, Minnesota's steady starter. The early innings stayed quiet, with both teams unable to break through. However, Minnesota struck first when Byron Buxton crushed a fastball deep to left field. His home run traveled 389 feet and gave the Twins a one-to-nothing lead after five innings. Despite the deficit, the Mariners refused to give up. They knew they had the firepower to come back, and Seattle's strong pitching staff kept them in the game.

Starting in the sixth inning, Seattle's bats finally came alive and tied things up. Josh Naylor singled to left field, bringing in a runner from second base. The score was now one to one, and momentum shifted toward the Mariners. In the seventh inning, Young kept up the pressure with another single to left, scoring Arozarena from third. Seattle had taken the lead at two to one. But the biggest moment came in the eighth inning when Naylor stepped up to the plate again. This time, he launched a powerful cutter into right field that soared 390 feet over the wall. With runners on base, Naylor's three-run homer gave Seattle a commanding five-to-one advantage. The Mariners' bats were on fire now.

With Seattle leading five to one, the Mariners weren't done scoring yet. In the ninth inning, Rodríguez stepped to the plate with runners in scoring position. He drove a sweeper pitch into left field for a double that scored two more runs. That made it seven to one, and Seattle's lead was too big for Minnesota to overcome. The final score read Seattle seven, Minnesota one, giving the Mariners a satisfying revenge victory. This win improved Seattle's record to fifteen wins and sixteen losses. Although the Mariners had been dealing with injuries to key players, they showed resilience by fighting back from Monday's blowout. The strong pitching from Logan Gilbert kept Minnesota's powerful lineup under control throughout the night, demonstrating why Seattle's rotation remains one of baseball's deepest and most reliable staffs.
