Mariners vs Rangers Recap: Late Runs Doomed Seattle

The Texas Rangers hosted the Seattle Mariners at Globe Life Field in Arlington on Tuesday night. Seattle scored first when Raleigh hit a towering homer in the top of the first. Jacob deGrom started for the Rangers and Logan Gilbert started for the Mariners, so both teams hoped for strong pitching. The final score was Texas 2, Seattle 1. The game stayed tight after the early fireworks, and small hits decided the outcome. This matchup felt like a pitcher battle, and the teams traded tense innings while fans watched every pitch with big focus.

The first inning was full of action and it changed the game tone. In the top of the first, Raleigh jumped on a 99 mph fastball and the ball soared 418 feet to right for a home run. That gave Seattle a 1–0 lead and the crowd reacted loudly. In the bottom of the first, Texas answered when Seager singled to right and Langford scored, tying the game at one. Both teams battled for runs but held each other tight after that. Pitchers worked carefully, avoiding extra mistakes while the defense stayed ready and focused.

The biggest moment came in the sixth inning with two outs and the bases loaded. Burger stepped to the plate and crushed a double to left, bringing Seager home and giving Texas a 2–1 lead. The hit came on a curveball and the ball landed about 341 feet away, so it was a hard, precise swing under pressure. After that, both bullpens kept the other team from scoring. No more runs came, and the Rangers held on to win 2–1. This result left Texas with a 5–5 record and Seattle at 4–7 after the game.
