Raleigh’s Grand Slam Turns Tide | Seattle Mariners News

Intentional Walk Turns Into Grand Slam | Seattle Mariners News

In a stunning twist, the Reds’ manager Terry Francona intentionally walked Dominic Canzone to load the bases in a 3-0 deficit, hoping to set up a force play — but it backfired when Cal Raleigh, in a slump, crushed a hanging breaking ball for a grand slam, sealing an 8-0 Mariners win. Despite the gamble going wrong, Francona stood by his call, admitting Raleigh still haunts him. Raleigh, surprised by the walk, turned it into a career-defining moment — even as he downplayed the homer, focusing on the season ahead. The Mariners, still clinging to a .500 record after a disappointing start, now hold the division lead thanks to this explosive win.

Mariners Rise as AL West Contenders | Seattle Mariners News

The Mariners are proving they’re no fluke—leading the AL West with fans and bettors overwhelmingly backing them for a deep run.

Gabe Speier’s Velocity Surge Puzzle | Seattle Mariners News

Gabe Speier’s fastball is flying — hitting career highs with nine of his 10 fastest pitches in the last four weeks — but his advanced stats are tanking, creating a baffling puzzle. Despite feeling great in spring training and the WBC, and even sporting a new haircut that sparked wild speculation, his strikeout and walk rates haven’t matched his velocity. The Mariners seem to be using him less aggressively, dialing back his four-seamer — a move that might be holding him back. Could more of that heat, paired with smarter pitch usage, unlock his true potential? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
