Bryan Woo Shuts Down Texas, Mariners Bash Way Past Rangers 5-2
Bryan Woo was absolutely dominant on the mound Sunday at T-Mobile Park, and the bats backed him up perfectly. The Mariners took down the Rangers 5-2 in the series finale, grabbing their second straight win and salvaging two of three after dropping four in a row heading into this matchup.
Here's what made Woo special: seven innings of pure control. He allowed a single to Brandon Nimmo right away, then retired the next 15 straight hitters before Josh Smith broke through in the sixth. Final line for Woo (1-2): two runs, four hits, six strikeouts, one walk, and he hit a batter. The guy has now pitched seven innings in three of his five starts this season. That's the kind of consistency you need early in the year.

Rob Refsnyder set the tone immediately, launching a solo shot off MacKenzie Gore on the very first pitch of the bottom of the first. That 1-0 lead? The Mariners never trailed from that point forward.
The damage kept coming. J.P. Crawford crushed a two-run homer in the second, and Randy Arozarena added his own two-run shot in the fifth. Both came off Gore, who couldn't make it out of the fifth inning. The Rangers starter gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings with five strikeouts and a walk.
Texas scored a pair in the seventh when Josh Jung drove in Corey Seager with a sacrifice fly and Evan Carter doubled home Wyatt Langford, but Woo shut the door by retiring Smith to end the threat. Gabe Speier handled the eighth without any damage, and Andres Muñoz struck out the side in the ninth for his third save of the season.
What's Next
The Rangers head home to face Pittsburgh after an off day Monday. The Mariners don't waste any time, opening a three-game series against Oakland on Monday with RHP Emerson Hancock (2-1, 2.28) taking the ball against Athletics RHP J.T. Ginn (0-0, 3.31). Attendance at T-Mobile Park was 35,474.
